570,000 harbor drifters are here

As we all know, in the past two years, Hong Kong has been competing for talent!

Last year launched the "high talent to pass" policy, everyone is impressed?One of the requirements is to graduate from one of the world's top 100 universities.

News report

Just yesterday, the Hong Kong Government issued another heavy news!

Mr Lee Ka-chiu, Chief Executive of Hong Kong,Prepare to relax the application threshold, not the world's top 100 universities can apply!

He felt that the top 100 universities might have limitations,Hong Kong will not give up any way to compete for talent!

Mr. Lee Ka-chiu, Chief Executive of Hong Kong

When this news came out, some people were happy and some people were sad!

On the one hand, talents coming to Hong Kong is indeed conducive to the development of the city, but on the other hand, too many talents will not make the cityHong Kong is just like the mainland...

Will Hong Kong roll up?

Pro view: Gao CAI so hot, certainly will!

Let me remind you that high-end talents are divided into three categories:

Category A: Annual salary of HK $2.5 million or more;

Class B: Global top 100 university graduate (must be a bachelor's degree), and at least 3 years of work experience within 5 years;

Class C: Global Top 100 university graduate (must be a bachelor's degree), less than 3 years of work experience.

Category C applications have an annual quota on a first-come, first-served basis.

Policy address

As of the end of May this year, Gao CAI has only opened applications for a few months, but more than 32,000 people have applied, of which more than 21,000 have been approved, that is to say more than 65% of people have passed! ** And more than 7,000 people have arrived in Hong Kong, which can be said to be very hot!

And these approved applicants,Most of them are from the mainland!

The region from which the approved applicant is from

The largest number of applicants are between the ages of 18 and 30, 8,928 people; This was followed by those aged 31 to 40 with 7,581.

These two age groups can be said to be young and vigorous! The year of the fight! These are the people we're rolling!

The age of the approved applicant

And the largest number of approved is Class B, that is, the world's top 100 university graduates +3 years of work experience.

These people, high education, and work experience, that is the standard high-end elite.

Add to that their mainland background... More or less have been baptized by the 996 culture.

So many talented mainland Chinese are pouring into Hong Kong,Hong Kong want to roll is difficult!

But some netizens are more optimistic, they think that the people who come are not necessarily talents...

Will Hong Kong roll up?

Opposing view: High wealth is not necessarily high talent

Class B and Class C are indeed excellent talents, but Class A is not necessarily.

Circle sister saw an example in the little red book.

The applicant is a mainland Tiktok network celebrity, college degree, the main income is live rewards, advertising and so on. According to the income, the family is far more than 2.5 million, but it is really not the same as the high-end talent we imagine.

This case, however, was ultimately rejected because the income component was too complex.

After the introduction of high-end talents, a large number of immigration agencies have sprung up!

Our slogans are ** "This is the best chance to settle in Hong Kong", "one person is approved, the whole family benefits", "Even after graduating from college, you can apply". **

An intermediary company

Judging from some real applications,High talents are not necessarily high-end talents.

Moreover, even if some applicants are approved, they may not really come to Hong Kong for development, and some people simply want to obtain a Hong Kong identity.

Just like the previous controversy over high-talent children, some people just fancy Hong Kong's educational resources and want to help their children get a Hong Kong hukou.

News report

Others are more direct,Think of your visa as a long-term tourist visa.

Judging from the feedback from some agencies, many C-type people who apply for high talent just follow the trend of application, and are not prepared to come to Hong Kong for development, just look at the low threshold cost, and apply first.

Some people just use it as a kind of unlimited travel visa that allows them to come and go in and out of Hong Kong.

In short, since the introduction of the high talent policy, it has been very popular, but it is inevitable that some people will fish in troubled waters. The Hong Kong Government has also been adding details to improve the policy and better serve the development of Hong Kong.

Finally, let me ask you,Do you think the talent policy will make Hong Kong roll up?
