The Chinese government buying scientists?

I've heard a lot of people talk about how China is eagerly looking for western scientists, and will offer huge grants as well as accommodations for scientists who will come and work for them, but I haven't been able to find any concrete information on this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Update:

Yea, that's really clever. Like I really think you can go on ebay and buy people...it's a pretty common expression to say someone is buying someone else, when clearly they aren't becoming slaves.

    This isn't buying a scientist, it is offering them a job.
