      ***TLDR***

      Chinese companies, especially Huawei, are actively recruiting top tech talent from Western firms by offering salaries that can be up to three times higher. This aggressive recruitment has raised concerns about risks to intellectual property, leading Germany to investigate the attempted poaching of engineers from Zeiss SMT and ASML.

      As Western governments tighten restrictions on technology exports to China, recruitment has become a crucial strategy for Beijing to enhance its semiconductor and AI capabilities. While Taiwan and South Korea impose strict anti-poaching laws, the U.S. and Europe generally maintain more open policies, leaving governments to struggle to balance national security with free-market principles. Critics suggest that this tactic mirrors historical talent recruitment strategies used by Western nations.

      Says something when the communist country can out offer the paragon of capitalism.

      America can pay football players millions a year but can’t attract the talent to beat TSMC or ASML.

      If American companies paid better there’d be nothing to worry about

      What did people expect? The technology is developed by people not by companies and you can hire people. Of course. I’m sure oligarchs would prefer you can’t hire their people, but maybe that’s what’s going to happen next.

      Hey, if money is your God, you hope and expect to be bought.

      For so long, we’ve put being rich over everything, and not for nothing. But it’s caused so many people to lose their humanity.

      Interesting that this is happening after a couple years of shadow layoffs in major tech industries. Good timing on China’s part, they’re probably going to be able to reap a harvest of talented people.

      Don’t do it.

      They don’t play by democratic or human rights rules. At the very least, if you do, don’t do it on their soil, insist on remote work or periodic trips. If you have to travel to their country, you had better understand how things work in their country.

      Of course, this is a general recommendation for any country, but more so with this one. They’ve got an impressive government apparatus.

      When I was in college I worked as an online English tutor for a Chinese company. Hours and pay were great, the job was fairly easy and the kids were fun. Was the software we had to use being used as a backdoor by Chinese spy agencies? Almost definitely, but they were paying me more than the NSA did to spy on all of us so no complaints from me. Not saying that there aren’t labor/ethical issues with Chinese companies (obviously), but western companies need to get real if they think they’re so amazing that countries like China can’t compete for western laborers if they really want to.

      I’m ok with it as long as it’s a one way trip. Enjoy China…. Forever.

      American companies have plenty of money but China is pseudo capitalist. This why eventually their one party system will crash one day.
