The top 20 cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Qingdao, Nanjing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xiamen, Changzhou, Changsha, Jinan, Xi'an, Ningbo, Kunming, Changchun, Wuhan, and Foshan.

A series of measures have been introduced over the years to attract more international talents to Xiamen. In March, the Xiamen talent attraction alliance was officially established. 

Presently, 92 companies and 11 corporate institutions related to industries such as electronic information, machinery and equipment, financial services, biomedicine, and new materials have joined the alliance.

In addition, Xiamen has been actively recruiting talent. Authorities have also established an international talent workstation in Beijing to promote talent projects and cooperation between Xiamen and Beijing.

Xiamen has since 2017 been organizing overseas entrepreneurship competitions through market-oriented institutions to attract more overseas-educated talents and international talents to start businesses in the city. 

To date, the competition has attracted more than 900 talent projects related to industries such as information technology, artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, and biopharmaceuticals.
