This perfectly highlights just how hare brained the whole plan to keep contain China technologically is. Whatever skills are missing there, they can just hire top talent from the west to teach them.

Ohh no thats awful. Where is this happening so I can avoid it?

Also: this wouldn't work if things were good in the west

This is a peaceful path to global conquest. It is warmongering posture that promotes this workaround, and enslaving people to domestic tech oligarchy is an inherently negative consequence of warmongering. A world at war means AI/tech helping war and disinformation instead of making work/life more productive.

But at what cost

Mmm, China perfidiously stealing the hard-earned talent of Western engineers? I know just the solution! They should build an anti-communist self-defence wall:

We no longer wanted to stand by passively and see how doctors, engineers, and skilled workers were induced by refined methods unworthy of the dignity of man to give up their secure existence in the GDR and work in West Germany or West Berlin. These and other manipulations cost the GDR annual losses amounting to 3.5 thousand million marks.

Some fine historical irony. Of course, given the way the university system works in places like the US, there's not even a good argument that this imposes costs on the public, who trains personnel only for them to leave and benefit some other state.

Maybe this is what Trump's wall is for.

Damn, guess they'll have to introduce laws to improve transparency in hiring /s

Microsoft, Apple and Google all collectively shed one single tear as their concerns for their multi-billion dollar profits. For the Execs that is.

Wish China would offer to triple my pay but I don't speak any chinese languages so they probably won't.

heyy send some of those bombs my way!|
