| The core of international labor export can be divided into two categories: on-site labor services for export (essential) and cross-border services (non essential); By industry, it can be subdivided into construction, manufacturing, agriculture, services, technology/specialty, digital and green labor, covering all levels of positions from general workers to high-end talents. 1、 Classified by nature (core two categories) 1. Elemental labor services (on-site work abroad) The most mainstream form of cross-border labor is for workers to provide labor on-site in the importing country. Ordinary labor (low/medium skills) Architecture: Civil engineering, carpentry, rebar workers, welders, electricians, plumbers, curtain walls, decoration Manufacturing: electronic assembly, auto parts, mechanical processing, clothing sewing, food processing Agriculture: planting, breeding, fishing, horticulture, picking (including seasonality) Energy: Oil/gas drilling, oilfield operation and maintenance, mining and extraction Services: Hotel/Catering (Waiter, Chef, Cleaning), Housekeeping (Nanny, Caregiver), Supermarket Retail, Cruise Shipping Technical labor (medium/high skilled) Engineering technology: equipment installation and debugging, operation and maintenance engineer, CNC/welding technician, draftsman Medical: nurses, caregivers, doctors, rehabilitation therapists, medical beauty technicians Education: Chinese language teachers, preschool teachers, subject teachers Transportation: sailors, crew members, aircraft maintenance, railway operation and maintenance High end labor services (knowledge/management oriented) Expert consultants, project management, executive deployment, technology research and development, financial/legal/tax consulting 2. Non essential labor services (cross-border services, personnel may not leave the country) Not directly involved in material production, providing cross-border services. Technical services: remote operation and maintenance, technical training, design and development, testing and certification Consulting services: management consulting, engineering consulting, market research, legal consulting Transportation logistics: international sea/air freight, freight forwarding, loading and unloading, warehousing Financial Insurance: Cross border Banking, Insurance, Payment Services Tourism culture: inbound reception, tour guide, cultural exchange, performance services Digital services: remote IT development, data annotation, cross-border e-commerce operations, translation/localization, short video production 2、 Segmented by Industry (Mainstream Project List) 1. Construction projects (with the highest proportion) Building construction, roads and bridges, ports, airports, rail transit, power stations, water conservancy, steel structures, decoration and renovation Representative positions: Carpenter, Reinforcement Worker, Concrete Worker, Welder, Electrician, Pipeworker, Scaffolder, Surveyor 2. Manufacturing industry Electronics: assembly of mobile phones/computers SMT、 Testing QC Machinery: machine tool operation, welding, sheet metal, molds, auto parts Light Industry: Clothing, Luggage, Toys, Furniture, Food Processing New energy: assembly of photovoltaic modules, lithium batteries, and wind power equipment 3. Agriculture and Fisheries Planting: vegetables, fruits, flowers, tea gardens (Europe, America, Australia, Middle East) Breeding: livestock, poultry, aquaculture Fisheries: ocean fishing, breeding factory ship, aquatic processing 4.

Emerging fields (digital+green) Digital labor services: remote programming, data annotation, AI trainers, cross-border e-commerce operations, live streaming operations Green labor services: installation and operation of photovoltaic/wind power, energy storage technology, environmental engineering, and maintenance of new energy vehicles 3、 Classified by cooperation form Pure labor dispatch: Only personnel are dispatched, without involving engineering, and the employer provides positions and management (such as general workers in hotels and factories). Contracting projects with labor services: Enterprises that win overseas projects and bring their own construction teams (such as China Construction and China Railway Overseas Projects). Investment assignment: Enterprises establish subsidiaries overseas and dispatch management/technical backbone (such as Huawei and Xiaomi overseas). Government to government agreement on labor services: The two governments have signed targeted transportation agreements (such as labor cooperation between China and Japan, China and South Korea, and China and Arab countries). 4、 Popular countries/regions and corresponding projects Middle East (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar): architecture, oil, hotels, housekeeping, healthcare Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and South Korea): Electronics manufacturing, construction, catering, nurses, sailors Europe (Germany, UK, Nordic): Nursing, Chef IT、 Construction technician Australia/New Zealand: Agriculture, Construction, Nursing, Catering Africa: infrastructure, agriculture, communication, healthcare 5、 Compliance Reminder (Essential for Chinese expatriates) It must be handled through foreign labor cooperation enterprises approved by the Ministry of Commerce, and do not trust "black intermediaries".
