Just let me work remote, thanks.
For 3x the money! Sign me up but I would need a pretty bad ass contract to jumpship!
From what I’ve read about working at Chinese tech companies, you will not get to work remotely. In fact, you will be required to work in an office for 10 hrs a day instead of coming and going as you please.
Just look at the TSMC factory in AZ as an example. Taiwanese work expectations are not very compatible with how top US talent wants to work.
Taiwan is not China.
Agreed, I wasn’t exactly sure how well it would translate countries, but it was the first solid thing that came to mind.
taiwan is china, its just that its occupied by us-backed libs rn.
I think the people living there disagree with you…
not unlike the americans who think they live in a democracy
Ay least we agree, the people living in Taiwan do not believe they are a part of China then, correct?
people living in taiwan are probably not a monolithic block.
but the cia has been doing some mighty propaganda work over there, so who knows if they think being a colony is worth it.
They’re a big believer in 996, so 9am to 9pm, six days a week. Sadly, this is creeping into western tech too, but is commonplace in China.
Didn’t see any specifics around hours in the article though.
Is it twice the pay for twice the working hours? 996 or whatever they call it?
996 is now illegal in China
Several companies like TikTok still work similar to this. Culturally, I doubt it’ll stop any time soon

Oh no! Won’t someone think of the executives? Anyways.
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.

There is a video of thin Mexican worker slipping between the bars (wall had to be see through for some reason) from one side of the border to the other. Obviously wall is meant to keep fat Americans trapped inside America.

The entire country of Canada may feel triggered for the last 30 years at this comment.
I mean, all the doctors and nerds come back, but it takes a decade. Are you saying we get a border wall too, and Trump is gonna pay for it ?
Why would they say thousand million instead of billion?
At a guess, it’s following older British norms, whereby a billion is what it is in other European languages (a million million) and a thousand million is a thousand million or, more pretentiously, a milliard. You’d have to ask the authors though.
That’s interesting. Thanks
But at what cost

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.
