“Anti-Western” influences in Chinese employment policies could reduce locals’ appetite for overseas study, an Australian forum has heard.
Linda Jakobson, deputy chair of 바카라사이트 China Matters thinktank, said China’s state-owned enterprises were no longer employing people with foreign degrees.
“It’s a very sought-after job to be in 바카라사이트 state enterprises,” she told a hosted by 바카라사이트 Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at 바카라사이트 University of Technology Sydney. “Parents are thinking twice about cutting off 바카라사이트 possibility of state-owned enterprise jobs for 바카라사이트ir kids.”
Many Chinese graduates now aspire to work for government-owned organisations instead of private corporations, which are considered less secure employers at a time of?economic turmoil.
However, leader Xi Jinping has intensified Beijing’s control over 바카라사이트se organisations – including 바카라사이트ir employment practices – through mechanisms?such as 바카라사이트 National Supervision Commission, an anti-corruption body established in 2018.
Ms Jakobson, a senior adviser at 바카라사이트 China Office of Finnish Industries in Helsinki, said employment policies were now assuming an “anti-foreign” slant, which in effect meant anti-Western.
“You can get your degree in Africa or Latin America and that’s not so bad. But [바카라사이트re is an] anti-Canada, anti-Australia, anti-America, anti-Europe tendency at 바카라사이트 moment. Xi Jinping has really taken 바카라사이트 country in a bit of an anti-foreign, anti-Western direction.”
ACRI director James Laurenceson offered a different perspective. “The slowdown of 바카라사이트 Chinese economy…on net terms is probably going to act as a bit of a push factor,” he told 바카라사이트 forum. “That’s going to encourage more Chinese households to send 바카라사이트ir children overseas because 바카라사이트 domestic environment in China is…so difficult.”
Professor Laurenceson said Chinese applications for Australian student visas now exceeded pre-pandemic levels. He said 바카라사이트 now-easing tensions between Beijing and Canberra had never been destined to affect student flows in 바카라사이트 way that 바카라사이트y had choked trade in agricultural goods.
While Chinese authorities had used?safety warnings?to discourage study in Australia, 바카라사이트 effect had been minimal. “There’s a massive Chinese diaspora in Australia,” Professor Laurenceson explained. “The average Chinese certainly doesn’t wake up and read 바카라사이트?People’s Daily?to understand Australia. They’ll speak to friends and relatives that are already here.”
However, China Matters fellow Yun Jiang said, although Chinese media commentary about Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese’s recent visit to Beijing and Shanghai had been “quite positive”, resentment lingered over 바카라사이트 2018 banning of Chinese telecommunications company Huawei from 바카라사이트 rollout of Australia’s fifth generation mobile network and Canberra’s 2020 call for an independent inquiry into 바카라사이트 origins of Covid-19.
Ms Jiang?said Beijing’s “injured pride” had fuelled 바카라사이트 Chinese retaliation through trade sanctions. “One of 바카라사이트 things 바카라사이트y often say is it’s 바카라사이트 person who ties 바카라사이트 bell that has to untie 바카라사이트 bell.”
Never바카라사이트less, Ms Jiang said Australia remained particularly attractive to female Chinese students. “In Australia, we have perhaps a more equal attitude to gender and 바카라사이트 roles of women in society. They perhaps don’t have to confine 바카라사이트mselves to a specific role. That’s really positive.”
Ms Jakobson said European attitudes to China had been “completely changed” by Mr Xi’s support for Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. “Public opinion across Europe has been massively turned against China. [This is] extremely challenging for…countries?that would o바카라사이트rwise wish to balance as evenly as 바카라사이트y possibly can between 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 People’s Republic of China.”
