The scope and the study of international migration have reached unprecedented levels. The UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) recognises that ‘migration is a multidimensional reality of major relevance for the sustainable development of countries of origin, transit and destination’, and calls for ‘integrat[ing] migration into development planning and sectoral policies at local, national, regional and global levels’. Such policies may include targeting individuals who are highly skilled/highly educated or lower skilled/less educated to fulfil different developmental goals. China, with its globalised economy, rapid economic growth, and wealth accumulation in recent decades embodies such a trend. With recruitment policies for top-tier Chinese returnees and foreign professionals, China has become an emerging destination for overseas talent. However, there is a lack of city-level/local-level analysis of the roles that local incentives and policies play when people choose a destination city. We aim to fill this gap by focusing on city-level talent recruitment and retention policies in Guangzhou, the capital of China’s Guangdong Province. In this policy commentary, we will 1) Compare and contrast the talent recruitment and retention policies instituted and implemented by the City of Guangzhou to attract Chinese returnees and foreign professionals in the last two decades; and 2) Assess the effectiveness and fairness of such policies, and their implications for other areas and countries in the global ‘race for talent’.

... Different levels of the Chinese government have implemented various strategies to attract overseas talent to return to work, which could lead to a surge in the number of returnees (L. Ma et al. 2023). Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu have been identified as the most popular cities in China for attracting both Chinese returnees and workers from overseas (Centre for China and Globalization, 2019). ...

... Much research has been carried out on the mechanisms contributing to China's economic rise in general (e.g. Enright et al. 2005;Lu and Wei 2007;Chow 2015), on China's rapid urbanisation (overviews recently: Küchler and Stein 2023; Herrle et al. 2023), on migration-related employment opportunities and challenges (Hao et al. 2016), unequal migration and urbanisation gains (Combes et al. 2020;Zhu et al. 2021), migration-related transient urban spaces (Bork-Hüffer et al. 2016), regional disbalances (Zhou et al. 2018;Li et al. 2022) and also on the entailed processes of increased interand intraregional competition for investment, human capital and global acknowledgement (e.g. Jessop and Sum 2000;Wu et al. 2005;Wu and Zhang 2007;Zheng et al. 2017), including entrepreneurial resilience and effects of migrants in rural areas (Bao et al. 2022;Wu et al. 2023;Zhu et al. 2023). ...

... More recently, skilled migrants settling in cities in developing countries have received increasing attention from scholars (Bailey and Mulder 2017;Tan, Li, and Tsuda 2023). While research has been done on the city-or national-level measures and policies to recruit global talent (Li et al. 2019;Li et al. 2022), more studies are needed to investigate the high-skilled migrants' experiences associated with cities in the Global South, including their pre-migration locational choices and post-migration integration experiences. ...
