A Preliminary Study on Current Status of Employment Guidance Work of International Students and Improving Strategies in S Province China

With the continuous opening-up to the world and the continuous improvement of the higher education quality, a growing number of international students are choosing Chinese universities for pursuing their further study. At present, China has become the largest destination in Asia and the third largest destination in the world for studying abroad (Miao & Qu, 2022). In addition to the high quality of the educational environment, the ever-growing economic situation and the vast job market have also become one of the most important factors that influence international students to choose to study in China. Around 2017, with the adjustment of relevant national and local policies for the employment of international students, the employment environment for international students in China has become more relaxed and transparent. Meanwhile, more Chinese enterprises have gradually become internationalized and the demand for international talents has also been increasing, thus providing more opportunities for international students to work in China. The gradually favorable employment environment for international students has prompted universities to continuously strengthen, prioritize and improve the employment guidance work for international students. This paper selected one provincial university in S Province, aimed to explore the current situation of international students’ employment management, the challenges they face, the necessity of employment guidance for international students in universities and the suggestions for employment guidance management. Through questionnaire with the international students and the semi-structured interviews with the international students and administrators of international student management to summarize and analyze the challenges faced by the current employment guidance work for international students. Hope the findings of this paper can provide feasible strategic suggestions for the employment guidance management of international students in S Province.

Global Competency Development for Graduate Students from the Perspective of Internationalization at Home

With the advancement of economic globalization, cultivating globally competent international talents has become a key task for domestic universities. As international exchanges gradually return to pre-pandemic levels, the post-pandemic era has introduced challenges due to reduced cross-border movement, making cross-border educational exchanges more difficult to implement. In this context, “internalization at home” becomes crucial for developing internationalized talent. It offers a cost-effective approach and is particularly important as global competence is a core quality for such talents. This study aims to review and analyze relevant practices both domestically and internationally, using specific cases from various universities to discuss global competency training programs for postgraduates and to provide recommendations for advancing internationalization in China’s higher education sector.

The Impact of International Talent Inflow on Technological Innovation: The Moderating Role of Guanxi Culture and Social Trust

This paper studies the effect of international talent inflow on technological innovation and the influence of the Chinese cultural environment on their relationship. Based on provincial-level data from 2000 to 2012, we construct a static panel data model to explore the effects of international talents on technological innovation and the moderating role of Guanxi culture and social trust in the above relationship. We find that international talent inflow positively impacts technological innovation. Guanxi culture significantly negatively impacts technological innovation and negatively moderates the relationship between international talent inflow and technological innovation. Social trust significantly positively impacts technological innovation and positively moderates the relationship between international talent inflow and technological innovation. The interaction between social trust and Guanxi culture has a significant positive effect on technological innovation. The study shows that different cultural environments have an essential impact on developing international talent’s innovation ability. This paper provides evidence for the need to improve China’s cultural environment and provides important implications for the formulation of talent policies. Based on this, we suggest improving the talent introduction system, optimizing the relationship culture, and building a good social trust system to promote regional innovation.

Netflix’s high-end global telefantasy: Conspicuous and virtual localism

Netflix has commissioned and released an increasing number of high-end international series that tap into the genres of science fiction, fantasy and horror. These follow one of two strategies: (1) local productions that engage with local folklore and myths, or (2) productions centred in the ‘West’, where international talent is brought in to create cosmopolitan ‘global’ TV events such as 1899 (2022). The first strategy brings together local storytelling with a globally appealing packaging. The second strategy risks reducing ‘transnational’ production to a few tokenistic stars and narratives which are ultimately from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

Dynamic Fractional-Order Grey Prediction Model with GWO and MLP for Forecasting Overseas Talent Mobility in China

International students play a crucial role in China’s talent development strategy. Thus, predicting overseas talent mobility is essential for formulating scientifically reasonable talent introduction policies, optimizing talent cultivation systems, and fostering international talent cooperation. In this study, we proposed a novel fractional-order grey model based on the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm to forecast the movement of overseas talent, namely MGDFGM(1,1). Compared to the traditional grey model FGM(1,1), which utilizes the same fractional order at all time points, the proposed MGDFGM(1,1) model dynamically adjusts the fractional-order values based on the time point. This dynamic adjustment enables our model to better capture the changing trends in the data, thereby enhancing the model’s fitting capability. To validate the effectiveness of the MGDFGM(1,1) model, we primarily utilize Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) as the evaluation criteria for the prediction accuracy, as well as standard deviation (STD) as an indicator of the model stability. Furthermore, we perform experimental analysis to evaluate the predictive performance of the MGDFGM(1,1) model in comparison to NAÏVE, ARIMA, GM(1,1), FGM(1,1), LSSVR, MLP, and LSTM. The research findings demonstrate that the MGDFGM(1,1) model achieves a remarkably high level of prediction accuracy and stability for forecasting overseas talent mobility in China. The implications of this study offer valuable insights and assistance to government departments involved in overseas talent management.

The Immigration Advantage in the U.S.-China Strategic Contest for STEM Talent

executive summary: This essay argues that recruitment of globally mobile scientists, researchers, and inventors gives the U.S. an advantage in great-power competition with China, but one the U.S. risks squandering. main argument The U.S. has a powerful asymmetric advantage over the People's Republic of China in advancing its global technological leadership: the ability to draw on the top talent from around the world. The recruitment of international talent in STEM fields is a major force multiplier for U.S. scientific and technological enterprises, especially in critical and emerging technologies and defense-related industries. Attracting top international talent is not a tool that China can easily replicate. For all its efforts to lure its own émigrés back and attract international students, China is still a net emigration country, while the U.S. is the top destination for immigrants, especially scientists and inventors. However, the deteriorating conditions of legal pathways to immigration for high-skilled STEM experts threaten to undermine this strategic advantage. policy implications • The U.S. is becoming less attractive for globally mobile international talent over time, largely due to the onerous and worsening conditions facing legal immigrants. Most notably, there is a mismatch between the number of people allowed to apply and receive permanent residence each year, leading to untenably long—and growing—backlogs and associated wait times. • The U.S. could increase its innovative output by expanding the quantity and improving the quality of international STEM researchers welcomed to the country. It could do so through changes in laws and regulations or merely by better recruiting and retaining talent through increased uptake of existing programs. It could also achieve greater contributions from talent it already has recruited by removing visa barriers restricting innovation-generating activities. • Efforts by the Chinese government to transfer technologies illicitly through espionage pose a serious risk. This risk needs to be managed with care to protect sensitive information without setting back U.S. technological development.

How cosmopolitan capital shapes the valuation of international credentials: A comparative analysis across cities in China and the United Arab Emirates

AbstractThis study investigates the career paths of 33 graduates from Swiss Hospitality Management schools in China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), exploring the nuances of international credential valuation. It identifies two key factors influencing access to management positions: (1) the degree of internationalization in major cities, which impacts the significance of international versus local skills and (2) individual cosmopolitan capital's role in shaping local career opportunities. The paper introduces a post‐colonial conceptualization of cosmopolitan capital, encompassing institutionalized, embodied and objectified forms, challenging Western‐centric views. By doing so, it reveals how mechanisms of racialization influence the assessment of international qualifications. In Hong Kong and Shanghai, returning Chinese are prospering in corporate head offices by mobilizing both local/national and international capital, challenging the white privilege of Western managers in this sector. Meanwhile, in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the competition is for a pool of ‘international talent’, even though being perceived as ‘Arab’ or ‘white’ seems to improve career prospects.
