1、Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more.-author-date英美报刊选读-部分翻译LESSON 1LESSON 1The top talent in countries around the world have a new suitor: the Chinese government.China has a severe shortage of skilled talent and, in a policy reversal
2、, has decided to open its doors to talent from around the world. This could mean that the brilliant NASA scientists the U.S. laid off, could find new employment and a new home in Shanghai or Beijing.Chinese research labs have long had difficulty recruiting qualified workers to perform necessary rese
3、arch and development, and its corporations struggle to find competent managers. The situation will likely get worse as Chinas high-tech industries grow and it increases its national R&D spending from the present 1.62 percent of GDP, according to the Chinese government, to the planned 2.5 percent by
4、2020. Chinas President Hu Jintao, in May 2010, declared talent development a national priority in order to fill the void. The goal is to dramatically increase the education level of Chinas workforce and to build an innovation economy.China has launched several high-priority programs to encourage ski
5、lled Chinese to return home all in an effort to meet the countrys pressing talent demands. One of these programs is the Thousand Foreign Talents Program. The programs goal is to bring 2,000 experienced engineers, scientists, and other experts of Chinese origin back from the West. The government also
6、 announced that it aims to cultivate 100 strategic entrepreneurs who can lead Chinese firms getting into the ranks of the worlds top 500 countries.Both efforts are running ahead of target according to Dr. Huiyao Wang, the Director General of the Center for China and Globalization and an advisor to t
7、he Chinese government. China had recruited more than 1,500 high quality talents, according to Wang, and 300 returnees had been enrolled in management training courses by August 2011. The courses were conducted by senior ministers. These individuals, while re-learning how to operate successfully with
8、in the Chinese system, are expected to serve as a critical catalyst in transforming Chinas innovation environment in ways that will enhance the countrys competitive edge across a range of key, strategic industries. China is getting more ambitious, based on the initial recruitment successes of the re
9、turnee program.The Chinese government invited me to attend the International Conference on the Exchange of Talent held in Shenzhen on Nov. 5. Vice Premier, Zhang Dejiang launched Chinas Thousand Foreign Talents Program, which, for the first time, opens Chinas doors to skilled foreigners to secure lo
10、ng-term employment in China. The Chinese government announced that it will allow foreign nationals to take senior roles in science and technology sectors and state-owned enterprises. They will also pay foreigners salaries equal to what they can earn at top paying jobs in America. And the government
11、announced that it intends to offer permanent resident-type visas to foreign entrepreneurs.This announcement was front-page news in China, and its importance should not be underestimated in the U.S. where these developments were not widely covered. These programs, which were announced with amazing fa
12、nfare, represent a significant break from the traditional use Chinese policies and a greater openness to the outside world. Chinese governors and senior officials from across the country participated in the ceremonies, and the Chinese government claimed the conference had 100,000 attendees. The fest
13、ivities that accompanied this were nothing short of dazzling, with cultural entertainers and acrobats brought in from all over China. Denis Fred Simon, author and Vice-Provost for International Affairs at the University of Oregon was one of the nine foreign experts at the Shenzhen conference. China,
14、 said Simon, sees talent as the next big global race for driving competitiveness and innovation. The country is determined to win this race if only to ensure it can complete the goal of transforming its economy. Wang also explained that the Chinese see this new talent pool as the key to moving from
15、a made in China orientation to a created in China capability. Chinas future growth, continued Wang, will rely more on the new talent strategy, even as its past successes were built mainly on its population dividend and investment. But sometimes things arent as rosy as they seem.Some of the returnees
16、 have found themselves victims of discrimination and petty jealousy from those who stayed behind. Moreover, they have struggled to re-adapt to Chinas relationship-oriented culture, which stands in sharp contrast to the performance-oriented culture of the West. Compared to the generally transparent s
17、et of rules and decision-making processes that are commonplace in U.S. and European research and university settings, returnees are frequently confounded by the personalized ways research proposals are evaluated and research grants are distributed. The reality is that despite the good intentions of
18、the program, the Chinese research environment remains plagued by plagiarism, fraud, and other scandals.There is an even greater challenge, however. Returnees are refusing to make full-time commitments to their new Chinese employers. Many have returned only sporadically, often not meeting the stated
19、residency requirements of the Thousand Talents Program.The best of the Chinese talent pool abroad has not yet chosen to return to China, especially in the science and technology fields, said Simon. Some who were considering returning home, he said, are still watching and waiting as their peers cope
20、with the challenges of returning. Family considerations also pose an important barrier, said Simon, as many Chinese expatriates based overseas would prefer their children to complete their education abroad and not have to suffer through Chinas examination hell prior to college. Discussions with Chin
21、ese government leaders in Shenzhen made it clear that Chinese leaders are not satisfied with the level of innovation in the country. I told them that I didnt believe that China could fix this problem merely through returnees. China would need to learn some of the techniques that Indian industry has
22、employed to upgrade its workforce. Chinas most critical challenge will be to create a more conducive environment for entrepreneurship. Innovation requires risk-taking, breaking existing systems and challenging the norms. Within Hu Jintaos model of a harmonious society (what he calls hexie shehui), t
