This is a really amateurish article for a bunch of reasons. Foremost is that the topic is supposed to be China can't attract foreign professionals, which implies that there is a strong demand for them which is unmet due to unfavorable circumstances. In practice though the article is more about how there ISNT demand for foreign professionals. What I take away from this is that companies don't consider foreign talent enough of a priority to pay for it, and that Chinese foreign students fill the need in local firms. Foreigners that do come here looking for professional work end up teaching english...but even that's a stupid point. If they end up teaching english than they weren't motivated to be professionals in the first place. The example they give of a fresh engineering grad from UVM who ended up teaching is a ridiculous example. Obviously that guy didn't really care about being an engineer or he would have moved on when he couldn't find a job. I'm sure there are lots of stories like that but it's not an example that supports the topic. The only example which is somewhat related is the Nokia SVP, but even that's more an issue of talent retention than talent attraction. This reads like something from a high school english class.
