Beijing to help Hong Kong rake in talent from mainland China and overseas, nation’s labour chief says

Beijing will work in tandem with Hong Kong authorities to make the city more attractive to talent from mainland China and the rest of the world, the country’s top official overseeing labour policies has said.

Wang Xiaoping, the country’s human resources and social security minister, made the pledge at Hong Kong’s two-day Global Talent Summit on Tuesday as the city’s labour chief said local authorities would focus on attracting more professionals from Southeast Asia and Europe.
