Expatriates鈥 favorite city is Shanghai
Print Edition
Shanghai has been voted as the favorite city for foreigners on the Chinese mainland for the eighth consecutive year.
In the 鈥2019 Amazing China 鈥 the Most Attractive Chinese Cities for Foreigners鈥 survey, Shanghai ranked first, followed by Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Hefei, Nanjing, Chengdu, Qingdao and Suzhou.
Launched by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs in 2010, it is the only survey on the Chinese mainland that allows foreigners to vote on expat-friendly policies, governmental administrative capacity, and working and living conditions.
Among the voters, there were eight Nobel laureates, including Israeli biologist Aaron Ciechanover, Dutch-British physicist Andre Geim and Dutch synthetic organic chemist Bernard Lucas Feringa. The list also includes John Hopcroft, American theoretical computer scientist and Turing Award recipient.
Shanghai has 215,000 working foreigners, 23.7 percent of the country鈥檚 total. Fifty-eight of them have been honored with the Chinese government鈥檚 Friendship Award.
In April 2017, China launched a new work permit system for foreigners. By the end of October, Shanghai had issued more than 250,000 work permits, with more than 18 percent issued to high-level foreign professionals.
