Tianjin (CNS) --The Tianjin government made a New Year's resolution to introduce more talent to the city, revealed a local officer on January 31. It plans to lure 2,000 overseas Chinese talents of all kinds, establish three to five Pioneer Parks for these returned students, and support the listing of two enterprises established by the returnees in 2012.

According to an officer from the Tianjin Bureau of Foreign Experts, the government will introduce into the community 600 returnees with doctoral degrees who work in international companies and at top universities or research institutes at middle or high-ranking positions.
