> I bet CCP is also counting on the rising nationalism in the US as well, to drive Chinese engineers back home

OP even mentioned that moves restricting hiring in China from US will help their Chinese based company.

> CCP is bad and China is bad, so every Chinese is bad

This is a very unfair summarization of the parent comment. They never implied that conclusion. Yes, the CCP is bad; And they control China and the Chinese people. But that does not say anything about the people themselves other then they are subject to the communist rules. It is a resistance to the CCP privacy practices that brings this change.
