In recent years，Chinese returnees have increased rapidly，and their career development back to China has gradually become a hot public concern. From January to August 2016，Center for China &Globalization （CCG）carried out an investigation on the development of Chinese returnees. The study found that regarding to latest status of returnees，there are problems in terms of employment，entrepreneurship，participation in politics，overseas contacts and adaptive capacity. Most of returnees have flocked together to eastern developed cities. Intensified job market competition in these cities resulted in high time cost in job hunting and low degree of job-major match. Those who plan to start their own business as entrepreneurs will find the operation cost is very high. However，the returnees are very willing to participate in politics and find ways to improve people’s livelihood. Also they maintain contact with former classmates and colleagues overseas. Even though most of returnees said it is most difficult to adapt to the values and way of thinking back home，better job opportunities and competitive salary are very attractive. The passport is supposed to be more valuable and domestic recognition should be improved.
