Foreign executives working in China are satisfied working there as their pay has become more globally competitive and more than half intend to stay on, according to a survey by the Association of Executive Research Executive Search Consultants (AESC). The survey found that the top reasons why China is so attractive to these expats are due to its dynamic high-growth economy driven by a positive outlook, high purchasing power and its fast-paced decision making culture. "China's economy is booming, and there is shortage of talents, " said Peter Felix, president of the AESC, a retained executive search consulting organisation. The AESC survey also found that the main concerns of foreigners working in China are the language barrier, the lack of transparency in business regulations, corruption, bureaucracy and pollution.
