Look at the authors of AI papers from big tech companies, many are authored by Chinese. There are also a lot of teams in some big tech companies (e.g. Meta), who are 100% chinese. I've heard they muscle out non-chinese employees. I bet it's difficult for Zuck. He has to choose between patriotism or business. As we know, in the short term globalisation and business are at odds with America.

I remember when I was in university in the UK (2014). The cohort was atleast 40% Mainland chinese. I bet some had cheated on their English tests to get into the university. One of my Chinese friends told me he planned to learn the cutting edge research in the UK from a well known UK company related to my field and bring it back to his dad's business.

Strategically, not only are we in a bad position, but it is actively getting worse. Economically, there is nothing wrong with Chinese citizens paying £40K a year on university tuition fees, on top of that, spending money on nice accommodation, which has been "great" for the UK economy. We pay for their cheap labour and manufacturing, and they pay for our services. Also, going back to Zuck, chinese employees have a harder working culture (e.g. "996") - that hustle leads to exponential better results (IMHO). The western work life balance does not. Can you start a business in a culture of working 4 hours a day?

Only if you're not gonna be competing internationally, like working for governments or state companies.

Old Russian proverb.

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men.

Ultimately America, particularly once you get to the upper middle class is a straight up lazy country.

You see this often in immigrant families. The first gen comes here, knows struggle. The second gen grows up, fails to appreciate anything, drops out of college and blames mom and dad for their failures.

Then again, I don't buy into this neo coldwar propaganda.The fear mongering is getting out of hand. The Military Industry Complex needs fear though, how else would you justify spending trillions.
