Twenty-one Chinese scholars  who are currently living in Britain Tuesday visited Zhongguancun,  dubbed China's Silicon Valley, and talked with entrepreneurs there about their collaborations on high-tech projects.

   Invited by the Administrative Committee of the Zhongguancun  Science Park, the Education Affairs Office of the Chinese Embassy  in Britain selected top Chinese talents there to make the trip.  Most of them are Ph.D. holders.

   Xia Yingqi, deputy director of the committee told Xinhua, that  the visiting delegation has brought with them 27 projects  concerning bio-technology, electronic information, environmental  protection and financing.

   The deputy director said that since Beijing and his park  adopted a series of preferential policies for overseas Chinese to  establish businesses there, a great number of potential projects  holders have consulted with them. From June last year to January  this year, 380 hi-tech enterprises had been set up by these  scholars involving 546 million yuan (66 million U.S. dollars).

   The delegation will travel to Shanghai and Suzhou for more  cooperation with local science parks.
