From Financial Times:
When Li Da was nine years old, his family moved from his native Beijing to Canada. As a student, he went to Colombia University in New York for a year. Now he is back in China and has his own company.
And among the 30-odd employees of DeyaTech, a provider of electronic document management software, he hopes to replicate his own globalised mindset by taking in interns from foreign countries.
Mr Li is not alone. More and more private companies in China are starting to seek international exchanges or expose their staff to more international experience.
I know a couple of business media outlets, such as Caijing magazine, an influential Chinese finance biweekly magazine, also exchange interns with the U.S. media and journalism schools.
Since the unemployment rate raised higher in the U.S., working for China maybe another good idea. I went to Flushing last month for Shanghai recruiting team overseas job fair at Sheraton Hotel and there were hundreds of people waiting in the hall. If I am not a journalist, I probably had to wait for more than 1 hour to enter into the main room. I wrote a story on the trend of going back to China for working reasons in China Business News in early December, 2008, and later after the job fair, New York Times and The Wall Street Journal also covered the event and career changes of lots of Wall Street Chinese veterans and fresh graduates.
