New output reshaping talent strategy

Roles at overseas Chinese companies expanding, leading to skills shortage

China's continued push for high value-added manufacturing is reshaping the nation's global talent strategy in the face of new demands and challenges from overseas employment, according to an industry report.

Sectors such as new energy, automobiles, mechanical equipment, and electronic and electrical products are leading the transition to high value-added manufacturing, accounting for around a quarter of the total manufacturing export volume in 2023, a white paper on talent for Chinese manufacturers going global by the Institute for Global Industry, Tsinghua University, global employee management and payroll platform Pay-InOne and other related institutions, showed.

As Chinese manufacturers navigate through new trends, so do their talent needs.
