Charlotte Magnette, who comes from Belgium and now lives in Sanya, has recently been in the spotlight at Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City (YZBSTC)—she is the very first international employee in the organization.

Always smiling brightly and able to speak four languages fluently, Charlotte stood out from the competition. She was the ideal candidate for the position of International Investment Manager of YZBSTC—an occupation which requires advanced multilingual and intercultural communication skills.

“I’m quite excited by the job I’m doing here,” said Charlotte. Serving as International Investment Manager, Charlotte defines herself as a “bridge” between overseas investors and YZBSTC. She targets, examines, and provides comprehensive services for enterprises showing interest in opening new branches in Sanya.

Charlotte appreciates the life she lives in Sanya. “It’s a beautiful tropical city,” said Charlotte, “sunny and warm all year along.” Having escaped the mega-cities, Charlotte now enjoys a totally different lifestyle. She heads to the beach in her spare time to practice yoga, chat with friends, and enjoy the glorious sunsets by the seaside. Although she realizes that career opportunities for expats in Sanya are quite limited, she holds an optimistic attitude towards the issue. “Hainan is on the way to becoming the largest Free Trade Port in China. I think with YZBSTC’s great efforts to bring in more industries, and with the release of more preferential policies for international talents, Hainan will continue to broaden its industries,” said Charlotte.
