The reason is very simple: those executives born in Taiwan, Hongkong, or even Singapore, are qualified for the jobs they are holding: understand some Chinese culture, speak or understand some Mandarin, have 15 or more years of multi-natinal corp experience, trained in US or UK, There are simply not enough Mainland born talents for top executive posts. If you look further, the talent pyramid for mainland Chinese is heavily disproportioned, super large pool of talents at junior level, but far from eough for mid to top executive posts. |
