BEIJING - The service sector, IT and media industries have overtaken the education industry as major job sources for expats in China, according to figures from the 2019 Job Fair for Foreigners in Beijing.

Oasis Games, a publisher of interactive games, has participated in the Beijing job fair for foreigners since 2013. The company translates Chinese games into 16 foreign languages, with 200 million people playing them in 130 countries. Ms Yang said the income gap between expats and Chinese employees in the same positions has been reduced in past decades. She said that in the 2000s, the annual salary of a foreign employee would be five to 10 times higher than that of a Chinese employee, but the gap is narrower now at about two to three times,-partly because salaries paid to Chinese have risen faster than expat salaries.

Mr Khan Ghulam, a 32-year-old Pakistani software engineer, has been working for a China-US joint venture for two years. He attended the fair to find a higher-paying job in a Chinese startup.
