It’s bittersweet, but I don’t blame them. While China’s policies are anything but humane, America didn’t help by exploiting them until it was bad for their image.
Comment on DeepSeek’s rise shows why China’s top AI talent is skipping Silicon Valley.

It’s definitely a trend. More and more top Chinese students are also opting to stay in China for university, rather than going to the US or Europe to study. It’s in part due to a good thing, i.e. the improving quality of China’s universities and top companies. But I think it’s a troubling development for China overall. One of China’s strengths over the past few decades has been their people’s eagerness to engage with the outside world, and turning inward will not be beneficial for them in the long run.

Is China really that much worse than Trump’s regime? It sounds like we are all fucked outside of Europe.

I have recently applied in Europe, U.S., and China for a relatively advanced computer scientist position. The China employer gives me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. in Beijing. Plus the China position promised me a clear path of promotion, which is not in the case for my Europe and U.S. offers.
My current position in Europe is in a famously well-paying institution, but my salary is only minorly higher than China, not to mention all the crap I need to go through moving to Europe.
The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, I cannot imagine many other people will make the choice I did, especially when they spent most of their lives in China.
