> I think they are talking about Chinese nationals reassigned back to China or other non-German countrie

This almost certainly doesn't matter.

If someone is working, full time, in the german office, for years, then they are almost certainly covered by german labor laws, even if they are a chinese national.

Right. It's just not clear to me that transfering someone back to the home office (or another international office) would be a violation of German laws against termination without cause, as GP suggested. Cause... it doesn't seem like termination? But maybe? It doesn't seem obvious. I'm just not sure we're all talking about the same thing.
