VI. Implications and Impact Talent as a National Strategy to Transform China •

The plan sets a new national strategy to transform China from labor-intensive country into a talent rich one by 2020.



Cheap labor has fueled China’s development over the past three decades, but that model, laden mainly with manufacturing, high resources and energy consumption and heavy pollution on environment has led China to a crossroad.



China’s talent plan has found a new growth engine and a new effective stimulus to build China into an innovative and sustainable country, but there still remains major challenges ahead, such as education reform.



While China’s past success was built mainly on its population dividend and investment, its future growth will rely more on the new talent strategy by better utilizing talents in China and attracting talents from all over the world.
