The Economic Times writes..
China has kick-started a key process to frame its first immigration law to better manage immigrants as the world’s fastest economy seeks to attract more foreigners to boost its development.
Experts on migration have advised the government to learn from other countries in regulating immigration, said Zhang Jijiao, researcher with the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology under the China Academy of Social Sciences (CASS).
Zhang said in the era of globalisation, China needed to attract a variety of talents, investors, skilled workers, and in particular “seagulls” — a Chinese term for foreign merchants who work with multinationals and must travel across the world — to contribute to its development.
A sounder migration policy would definitely enhance China’s appeal, Zhang said.
