ABSTRACT

This paper commences with the 2023 Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI), offering an in - depth analysis of the international talent competitiveness in western China. Despite China's overall progress in talent cultivation, ranking 9th in the education sub - index, western China lags in attracting and cultivating international talents. Geopolitical factors, including environmental and economic disparities with the eastern region, limit its appeal to international talent. There is also a lack of awareness in international talent cultivation, with a relatively closed education system and outdated concepts. The policies for overseas talent introduction and the international talent training mechanism are not well - developed, and international educational resources are scarce. Additionally, the region lacks international communication platforms. To address these issues, several countermeasures are proposed. These include emphasizing foreign language teaching in education to enhance internationalization awareness, introducing advanced international educational resources, adopting international advanced management systems, building international cooperation platforms, improving talent - related policies and training mechanisms, and optimizing the living environment for talents. By implementing these measures, it is expected to cultivate high - quality international - minded talents, enhance the international competitiveness of talents in western China, and ultimately promote the region's economic and social development. This paper analyzes the current situation of talent competitiveness in western China from the perspective of internationalization, starting from The Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI) in 2023, and puts forward the suggestions to enhance the international competitiveness of talentsin western China.
