Chinese spies like this trick.
I never understood the fear of spies. If you are giving them cleared jobs that's one thing but we are talking about the public.
10%. In other news, Microsoft retains 90% staffers based in China.
Well yeah they only want to get their favorite employees outta there. /s
You think china is just gonna let those people leave? Lmao
Fuck China
*fuck CCP
Which is China unless you are talking about ancient Chinese dynasties
It's the Chinese government. Not the common Chinese people. I have no problem with ordinary folks trying to live out their lives with friends and family. I do take issue with the CCP using its military to bully fishermen in the South China sea and fucking over the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Taiwanese.
A billion common people could take down the government if they wanted. They like it that way.
"F that!" US Immigration should not allow a bunch of fucking CCP/PLA members and MSS agents into the USA.
Relax. I’m sure they’ll be vetted and probably most won’t even be Chinese citizens. China is just as complicated a place as America^1. I’m an American software developer and I’d rather eat a bowl of hair than go work for my own government, much less any other. There’s lots of Chinese tech workers who just want to write software and not get involved.
^1 I’ll admit, Chinese food is more complicated. Like Louisiana vs Szechuan is a fair fight. I’ll take the Pepsi challenge with Memphis BBQ vs their best smoked pork. But after that, we’re gonna need to pretend Mexican and Italian food are American to be competitive.
I figured it would be layoffs.
Probably step 2.
Ohh, this is why all the layoffs! Their going to import employees and pay exploit them. Greedy, greedy M$.
That's a very strange title, I think in the end the US would suffer more, because China would be able to easily replace this talent, but the same cannot be said for the US.
I'm not understanding your idea. Why would it be harder for the US to replace tech talent? We're not restricted to just hiring US nationals. The green card queue is decades long. Ask any H1-B visa holder you know their 'priority date' for green card consideration. They'll be able to tell you immediately.
the sanctions are working?
