Layoffs drive Chinese nationals home from U.S. tech firms

0

Chinese nationals are departing U.S. technology positions at Meta, Google, Anthropic and Amazon to return to China. Allen Sun booked travel home shortly after Meta Platforms announced a 10 percent staff reduction in April. Headhunters are recruiting these returnees, often called sea turtles, for roles in China’s domestic technology sector as part of efforts to build technical capacity.

Meta rejects won't help China "take on Silicon Valley" I think this whole "we'll poach Сhinese from US labs, heh heh" loser attitude is not going to get anywhere. All secrets that they can spill is that mediocre Baidu tier companies in the US can have compute and $$$.
