Chen Guoji: By the end of November, over 260,000 cases of various talent immigration plans have been approved in Hong Kong, with significant results.

In a video speech at the Hong Kong International Talent Summit, acting Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, John Lee, mentioned that the government has launched a series of measures to attract talents by the end of 2022. These efforts have been effective, with nearly 420,000 applications received for various talent immigration programs by the end of November this year. Over 260,000 applications have been approved, and 175,000 talents have arrived in Hong Kong with their families. Lee pointed out that the decision of the 20th Central Committee's Third Plenum stated that Hong Kong must build itself into an international hub for high-end talents. Talents, education, and technology are key to developing new productive forces and providing strategic support for high-quality development. The SAR government will continue to promote technology through talent, lead industries with technology, and attract talents through industries to enhance the pool of innovative and technological talents. Lee announced in this year's Policy Address the establishment of the Education, Technology, and Talent Committee, chaired by himself. The committee will coordinate policies across various government departments, promote the integrated development of education, technology, and talents, and provide a solid foundation for talents. The government is also implementing new mechanisms for talent intake as outlined in the Policy Address, including establishing new mechanisms and actively inviting top talents to come to Hong Kong for development.
