Report on International Talents Strategy
In June 2008, CCG participated in a long-term national talent planning research study in collaboration with the Chinese Ministry of Organization. CCG's specific area of focus was in International Talent Strategy and the center published a comprehensive report of their findings. The report analyzed China's situation in terms of competing for international talent, and included research on recent accomplishments, potentially sustainable competitive advantages and also existing problems. From this research it was possible to submit a series of policy-making recommendations.
Report on the “Chinese Green Card” and Visa Issue
On 3 September 2009, CCG experts were invited by the State Council Overseas Chinese Office to take part in the “Chinese Green Card and Visa Issue Roundtable”. Wang Huiyao, Director General of Center for China & Globalization delivered a report on this issue that offers advice and suggestions for improving the global movements of talent.

Talent War
This book by Wang Huiyao investigates a global "war" that has been fought for over 60 years for international talent. While this conflict does not involve bullets or soldiers, it has an unimaginable impact on the development of a nation. Wang Huiyao contends that a country's ability to develop and then retain its talent, will determine its future in the 21st century.
