A committee was recently launched to offer various forms of business start-up assistance to help qualified Chinese scientists returning from overseas to run business.
The committee was led jointly by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Beijing-based Western Returned Scholars Association, said a notice on April 18.
The notice names the first 25 CEOs and professionals to join the committee's panel.
Previous official statistics show about 1.9 million Chinese studied overseas from 1978 to 2010 and, as of last year, 33 percent of them have returned to China.
