A career can flourish because of talents, and talents can be united because of the career. To deepen reform and opening up in an all-round way in Hainan Island is a major national strategy. We must mobilize the strength of the whole country and gather talents from all walks of life. Attract talent, retain talent, and make good use of talent. The best environment for achieving these is a good institutional mechanism. 

The country encourages key universities and research institutes at home to set up branches in Hainan, and encourages Hainan to introduce high-quality education resources from abroad. Technical personnel and those with professional skills from foreign countries as well as those from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), and Taiwan, will be allowed to work and apply for permanent residence permits in Hainan. Overseas students with master's degrees or above from Chinese universities will be allowed to work or start businesses in Hainan. China will support the province to establish management systems for recruitment of high-tech personnel from overseas and develop a more open mechanism in this regard, to comprehensively improve the level of personnel services, and enable all kinds of talents to make full use of their talents in Hainan Island.
