On September 4, during the 2023 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), Beijing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau organized an event themed on human resources services and released the Catalogue of Recognized Overseas Professional Qualifications 3.0 (hereinafter referred to as the Catalogue 3.0) and Catalogue of Human Resource Development for the Building of the Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening-up of the Service Sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone (Edition 2023) (hereinafter referred to as the Catalogue (Edition 2023)). The release of these two catalogues aims to further promote high-standard opening-up, attract outstanding talented individuals to Beijing for innovation and entrepreneurship, and consequently contribute to the high-quality development of Beijing.

The Catalogue 3.0 covers 122 overseas professional qualifications and identifies seven "high-value" overseas professional qualifications to form a category of scarce and urgently needed overseas professional qualifications. In the Catalogue (Edition 2023), 15 core areas such as chip design and fin-tech services are rated as five-star (the most urgently needed) ones, and 18 professions (occupations), such as staff members engaging in pharmaceutical preparations and optical instrument inspectors, are classified as those extremely scarce and needed. The specific content of the two catalogues can now be accessed on the official website of Beijing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau (http://rsj.beijing.gov.cn/).
