2019 is about to pass. Do you have a new Chinese learning plan for 2020? Are you going to have HSK test? Speaking of the HSK test, in addition to letting you know your Chinese level, according to the new policy implemented in China, HSK test will also help you with working in China!

2019年即将过去了，对于即将到来的2020年，您有新的汉语学习计划吗？是否会备考HSK考试呢？说到HSK考试，除了让您了解自己的汉语水平外，根据中国实行的新政策，HSK考试对您在华工作也有着不小的帮助呢！

Since April 1st, 2017, China has implemented a unified visa permit for foreigners in China, and implemented point credits for foreigners' work in China, aiming to simplify the procedures for issuing foreign visas and make it easier for "top talents" to obtain work permits. Based on a variety of factors, including work experience, education background and Chinese proficiency, individuals are classified as a, B or C applicants. It is expected that the point system is similar to that in the UK, Australia and Canada.

自2017年4月1日起，我国实施统一的外国人中国签证许可，对外国人来华工作实施计点积分，旨在简化发放外籍签证的程序，并使“顶尖人才”更容易获得工作许可。基于各种因素，包括工作经验，学历和汉语水平，将个人分为A，B或C类申请人。预计该点数系统与英国，澳大利亚和加拿大等地的点数系统大致相似。

So, how to define a, B and C talents? Follow us and get more information~
