remember when the US started the communist scare menace, it caused many Chinese to flee and one resulted in chinas fastest development of the hydrogen bomb. this time it is worst since its against all stem.
wait, why is trump doing this? it is THE tech china is behind on and could have been used strategically to keep them down. isnt that what both republicans and democrats want?
sometimes trump gives me hope the empire is gonna die, but i wanted to understand wtf do the republicans want to do.
Hey yall remember when the US imported a bunch of rocket scientists from this country in Europe when their gumming got taken over by drug-addled nationalists?
That was great
Europe, Oceania, and Canada should also be doing this.
Never thought I’d live to see the day that we’re getting brain drained
Been happening for a lot longer than we like to admit. Students coming to the US for education and then returning home to work have been the norm since the early '00s, on account of the US higher education system being highly subsidized by the States and Feds. This made US education relatively cheap for its quality, especially at the state university level.
But that was good, actually, because we became a nexus of research and development. Lots of students came, got education, and left. Lots more stayed around, lured by the high paying jobs at domestic firms. A few even joined the education staff of the universities themselves. A bit of brain drain was fine, so long as we produced far more than we lost.
Now we’re just hemorrhaging talent and expertise because we no longer value the work product of the professional classes.
Whelp, I know who to call traitors.tl the free world: anyone who takes the bait here. Not saying America is the better option currently, but definitely a lot better than the “There’s No Genocide In Xinjiang Despite An Independent Tribunal Saying There Is!” China team.
The US is not better than China, and there’s absolutely no evidence for anything close to a genocide in Xinjiang, if there was then the UN investigatiors sent specifically to find it would probably have found it
What about the genocide of Native Americans and African Americans here?
You need to be careful throwing stones when you live in a glass house.
That’s history that, at least in my region, we learn about in school. For the most part, we let them do their thing nowadays and aren’t actively commiting genocide on them. Police brutality on them may speak differently, but the majority of people who aren’t racist and/or rich already want the police gone because of their brutality.
As for the rest of the states, it’s a mixed bag due to bad eggs, but I’m fairly certain the official government stance is accepting of the fact we’ve treated both natives and African Americans bad. It’s why we learn about it. Tried looking it up, but was suspiciously finding a lot of content from Chinese embassies in America about how we need to come to terms with the Native American genocides and atrocities, from around the same time as the tribunal, maybe a month or two after people started reporting on it. Very suspicious timing on their part. Couldn’t find what I was looking for because I kept getting Chinese (.gov.cn) links over any official US links, which is very suspicious to me because it looks a lot like search result rigging in my eyes.
Edit:
Search result rigging, not search engine rigging.
Try using something like SearX.
That’s what I used. My usual SearX instance I really like has been failing recently, so I switched to another reliable one, both German hosted instances.
Edit:
I have also noticed other strange things, like how I’ll have an instance set to English but sometimes find miscellaneous posts in other non-Latin alphabet using languages. I presume that’s just because it’s a generic thing I’m searching, like a game or some common software. But I still find it weird.
The most documented genocide in human history is happening in gaza and is fully funded and supported to the point of prisons and deportation in America. This “independent tribunal” never went to xinyang and are an arm of American global influence. How fucking stupid are you, you live in the most facist, evil and more imperialistic nation on earth, tens of millions unnecessarily died because of America this century. who are you to point fingers at literally any nation when your nation was born from the genocide of an entire continent!! Go read a book, Jesus Christ
I mean you get to trade one authoritarian government for another, just the other is super densly populated, polluted to all hell, and speaks a language you probably don’t know. I mean, I guess China has their similarities to Silicon Valley, NYC, Chicago, etc.
“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese
I doubt they understand Mandarin.
I think you’d be surprised to discover how many people speak English as a second language, thanks to its extensive use in business and law. Even (perhaps especially) in China, where US-Chinese trade relations have been going strong since Nixon shook hands with Mao.
Only in the last ten years has the relationship between Wall Street and Hong Kong/Shanghai degraded and the appeal of English as a business language fallen by the wayside.
A bunch of them are likely Chinese or Taiwanese, the latter might also speak Mandarin.
Furthermore, I work in Estonia and all technical communication is in English. Source code is in English. To my coworkers and our clients I speak in Estonian. I suspect if China is going to be bringing in western engineers to their projects, they’ll also accommodate for English speakers.
Can learn
Technical talk is always half english anyway
More than half of all new engineers of the world are chinese.
