    Ministry: More Foreigners Working in China


    A lack of qualified personnel in both the private and public
    sectors has seen the number of foreigners working in the country soar.


    Expatriates legally employed in the country last year almost doubled compared
    with three years earlier, reaching a record high of more than 150,000, according
    to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.


    The rise is mainly seen in overseas-funded companies and local offices of
    multinationals as they expand rapidly in the coastal areas as well as big cities
    in the inland provinces.


    The most sought-after positions include those in information technology (IT) and
    management, including human resources and finance departments.


    In Shanghai alone, where more than half of the global top 500 multinationals
    have a presence, an estimated 40,000 foreigners work.


    The State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs is also hiring foreign
    experts every year.


    "Foreigners with managerial and professional skills are welcome to work in
    China," said Gao Lin, an official with the ministry's employment
    department, adding that more are coming after the country joined the World Trade
    Organization (WTO) in 2001.


    Lack of talents to fill new positions is a major reason behind the influx of
    foreign professionals.


    The IT and telecommunications sectors, new materials and energies, high-tech and
    financial industries are particularly in need of foreign talent, said Wang
    Tongxun, a senior expert with the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science under the
    Ministry of Personnel.


    "It means greater opportunities for both domestic and overseas talented
    people," he said. But since most domestic jobseekers cannot meet the
    requirements, foreigners fill the breach.


    For instance, senior personnel in finance and accounting, like finance
    controllers, are urgently needed, Mercer Consulting said in a mid-March report
    after it co-sponsored a survey with the Association of Chartered Certified
    Accountants (ACCA).


    But most senior accounting positions are taken by expatriates, it said.


    Key positions such as marketing managers of overseas enterprises and
    foreign-funded hotels, and top posts in banks and manufacturers are also mostly
    taken by foreigners.


    For these jobs, "expatriates are paid two to three times higher than their
    local counterparts," said Alan Zhang, who leads Mercer's Human Capital
    Product Solutions business in China.


    "Most expatriates used to take up senior managerial or senior technical
    positions. But since 2004, there is an increasing trend to assign expatriates at
    middle management and professional level," he added.
