Do state-owned enterprises recruit foreigners?

In the context of globalization, state-owned enterprises (referred to as "state-owned enterprises"), as an important part of China's economy, are gradually increasing the pace of internationalization and actively participating in global competition and cooperation. In this process, the demand for talents of state-owned enterprises is also increasingly diversified, not only limited to domestic talents, but also gradually set their sights on the international market. So, will state-owned enterprises recruit foreigners? The answer is yes.

Legal basis for state-owned enterprises to recruit foreigners

Chinese laws and regulations do not directly prohibit state-owned enterprises from hiring foreigners. In actual operation, state-owned enterprises need to abide by relevant laws and regulations, such as the law on the administration of entry and exit of foreigners, the regulations on the administration of employment of foreigners, etc., to ensure legal compliance. These regulations require foreigners to have legal employment qualifications, such as valid work visas, residence permits, etc., and to comply with relevant national regulations on the employment of foreigners.

Practical cases of state-owned enterprises recruiting foreigners

In recent years, more and more state-owned enterprises have begun to recruit foreigners to supplement and optimize their talent teams. Take the state-owned enterprises in Wuxi High-tech Zone (Xinwu District) as an example. The state-owned enterprises in the zone have issued a global talent selection announcement to recruit outstanding talents from all over the world, including foreigners. These positions cover many fields, such as management, technology, research and development, etc., aiming to improve the younger and professional level of state-owned enterprise managers, and promote the construction of state-owned enterprise talent team.

In addition, some large state-owned enterprises, such as those in the fields of railways, post and telecommunications, and communications, actively employ foreigners who are familiar with local culture, policies and regulations, and market environment in the process of participating in international competition and expanding overseas business. These foreigners can use their own advantages to help state-owned enterprises better integrate into the local market and reduce communication costs and cultural conflicts.
