China is shifting from a low-cost production outsourcing location to a more mature market followed by increasing labor costs. Over the past years multinational companies have seen increased competition for executive talent from Chinese based companies which has shrunk the wage gap between local firms and their overseas counterparts.
Local executives in China have previously favored multinational organizations with higher pay, better benefits, and the promise of higher management positions they could be promoted into. There was also a thought that working for overseas companies was more prestigious and offered better career development opportunities. While that has been the reality in the past, things are changing for Chinese executives and multinational companies are seeing increased competition on the market.

Executive compensation in China is evolving rapidly as companies compete for leadership talent in an increasingly competitive market.

Beyond salary and annual bonuses, executive compensation increasingly includes long-term incentives such as stock options, while greater transparency and corporate governance requirements have made executive pay more visible than ever before.
This article provides an overview of executive compensation in China, explains the key components of executive pay, and highlights current salary and compensation trends for both local executives and expatriate leaders.
