Chinanews, Shanghai, March 21 - According to a survey conducted by ECA International (the world's largest international human resources organization), Shanghai is the favorite Chinese city with foreign employees working in China, with Nanjing, Beijing, Tianjin and Guangzhou coming next.

 

Shanghai ranks 76th in the world and 11th in Asia in the survey, with its advanced public utilities and a modern outlook.

 

In the previous survey conducted 5 years ago, Shanghai only ranked 103rd in the world. However, today's Shanghai has surpassed many famous international metropolises like Seoul and Bandar Seri Begawan in the aspect of living conditions. Even many medium-sized cities in China rank higher than Manila and Ho Chi Minh City, but living conditions in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenyang and Tianjin are the slowest-developing in Asia.

 

"Shanghai and Beijing offer better conditions in housing, medical services, education, shopping, entertainment and traffic to foreigners than many other Chinese cities, and that explains why they like to stay in the two cities, though poor ecoenvironment in Beijing has lowered its score in the survey," said the manager of ECA International Hong Kong.
