The Central Conference on Talent Work for the New Era comprehensively summarized the law of talent development of the Party and the state, especially the new ideas, new strategies, and new measures of talent work since the 18th CPC National Congress, and put forward clear requirements and long-term plans for talent work in the new era. Based on the theoretical analysis framework of “idea-system-ability-strategy”, it is found that the strategy for developing a quality workforce is contained in the framework of modernization of talent governance composed of the concept, system, and ability of talent governance. Talent management concept is the direction forerunner that talent works and value follow. Talent management system is the system carrier that new era talent works. Talent management ability is the external expression of talent management system. The national talent strategy is a long-term planning and step-by-step implementation of the modernization vision of talent governance. To implement the strategy for developing a quality workforce in the new era, we must grasp the context and requirements of the times from the aspects of gathering talents, cultivating talents, encouraging talents and bringing up talents. We must build a major global talent center and innovation hub, build and shape the country’s strategic talent pool, deepen reform of the systems and mechanisms for personnel development, and train, attract and employ talented personnel in all areas.
