[HIGHLIGHTS] The Hong Kong SAR government recruits people with high salaries, why is Mandarin so important?

The recruitment position of "Belt and Road" project specialist in Hong Kong has become popular. The position, offered by the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau of the SAR Government, earns HK$335.8 million a year.

The proportion of Hong Kong's population speaking Putonghua increased from 1991.18% in 1 to 2021. The HKSAR Government sees a similar need to encourage civil servants to make more use of Chinese and putonghua. The Civil Service College under the Bureau continues to promote training for civil servants.
