Emerging markets from other French-speaking countries, including in Africa, boosted by the "Une Ceinture une Route" policy (One Belt, One Road) continue to contribute to the attractiveness of graduate candidates in France.

As to Chinese alumni, who for the most part young graduates who just came back to their country, they strongly look for contacts with employers looking for high level executives. Forum Emploi helps them meet over 100 multinationals every year.
