Isn't it the case already? In our company, the preference to host an overseas talent always goes to China's office for simplicity of immigration process. Secondary to that, I have to admit, is the significantly reduced chance of hostile talent poaching.

1. There are almost as many foreigners in Tokyo as there is in China.

2. Most of us left because of the really really bad pollution. You can’t have kids breathing that.

3. I was based in Beijing, not Shanghai.
