Thousand Talents Plan

The Thousand Talents Plan or Thousand Talents Program (TTP) (Chinese: 千人计划; pinyin: Qiān rén jìhuà), or Overseas High-Level Talent Recruitment Programs (Chinese: 海外高层次人才引进计划; pinyin: Hǎiwài gāo céngcì réncái yǐnjìn jìhuà) is a program by the central government of China to recruit experts in science and technology from abroad, principally but not exclusively from overseas Chinese communities. The current iteration of the program is called Qiming, administered by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Law enforcement and counterintelligence agencies in the United States, Australia, Canada, and other countries have raised concerns about the program as a vector for intellectual property theft and espionage.
