The PRC has established over 40 talent-recruitment stations in the UK, engaging in recruitment activities like the Thousand Talents Program. Among these, the Zhejiang UK Association was highlighted in a 2020 report for hiring over 100 experts on behalf of Zhejiang Province. However, only a few cases have been publicly disclosed. For instance, Brunel University Professor Zhao Hua was recruited by Zhejiang Painier Technology to contribute to the development of high-powered outboard engines for military and civilian use. The British system neuroscientist Keith M. Kendrick, the first foreign full professor recruited to Sichuan province through the Thousand Talents Program, is currently focused on child autism research at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).
