And if China increasingly becomes the place to go work if you’re an ambitious researcher or developer, it’s not hard to see where that leads.

Is that a thing? I know China's research sector is large and growing, but I never heard of it attracting foreigners.

“The accusations/obsessions over DeepSeek using H100 sound like a rich kids team got outplayed by a poor kids team, who weren't even allowed shoes,” tweeted Jen Zhu, an AI investor, “and now the rich kids are demanding an investigation into whether shoes were used instead of training harder to improve themselves.”

This is amazing.

They offer very competitive salaries, if I knew Chinese and was 10-15 years younger I would have considered it.

Yes. It's not common for Americans to come to China, but many in other parts of the world do. Currently living in Russia, I personally know a few folks, primarily from IT sector, moving there for new opportunities.

It is very much not a thing. At least not for American tech workers.
