On November 27th, the speaker of National Taiwan Affairs Office Zhu Fenglian reported that, there were 72 Taiwanese experts and scholars being selected into Thousand Talents Program. Mainland Affairs Council was aware of the 33 of them on the list, and the investigation task force has discovered 6-7 of them are current working in the educational institutes. Taiwanese scholars have also been selected into Changjiang Scholar Program. Although there is not a full list, but media has reported that several professors who were listed in it. In addition to these programs on the national level, Xiamen City also launched five other programs specially for attracting Taiwanese specialists, which are Fujian Province Bringing in Taiwanese High-Level Personnel (福建省引進台灣高層次人才), Fujian Province Bringing in High-Level Personnel Hundred People Program (福建省引進台灣高層次人才百人計劃), Double Hundred Personnel Program (雙百計畫人才), Taiwan Distinguished Experts (台灣特聘專家), and Taiwan Distinguished Specialists (台灣特聘專才). It's worth noted that, in the so-called "31 Measures" (Measures to promote economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Straits) and "26 Measures" (Measures to further promote economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Straits), both are highly loosening the limitation of Taiwanese specialists working, settling and holding adjunct positions.

There are a small number of cases of recruitment via the Thousand Talent program in the UK, though given the number of “recruitment stations” believed to be active in the country, it is highly likely that there are further instances of recruitment. An example of a known case is that of Professor Zhao Hua (赵华) at Brunel University, who is listed as an example in CCP talent recruitment literature. There are limited examples of recruitment of those without, or with very few, prior links to the PRC, most notably the British neuroscientist Professor Keith M. Kendrick. He was “the first foreign full professor who came to Sichuan province through the China 1000 Talent Scheme and the Sichuan 100 Talent Scheme”.

Following his return to China Pan Jianwei played a key role in developing the country’s quantum research program. In 2016 Anton Zeilinger joined the University of Science and Technology of China as the Einstein Chair Professor and was later in 2020 awarded the Chinese Government Friendship Award.

According to my knowledge supported by limited research within this projects framework Polish experts did not participate in the listed programs in the period Jan 2020 – March 2021. Then answer would be 0. However as Alex Joske’s and other scholars research show the identifying the engagement of foreign experts would require large scale in depth research and there is some possibility of such cases. Therefore the confidence level of the response would be low 30%. Time for this questions = 3

This has mainly been through Zambia's affirmation of China as the representative of all Chinese, and all research participants agreed on this. For example, Zambia's current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stanley Kakubo has recently reaffirmed the PRC as the only recognizable China, an oblique prevention of Taiwan from international recognition.
