Anduril CEO proposes a new plan to “defeat” China. Defector Visas. You can work at the McDonald’s down the street from NASA as a janitor. Though the China Hawks might deem your position as a janitor to be a national security threat.
That goes against MAGA principles. White people are the best in all things. No non-white people needed especially when it comes to STEM educated. Why do you think there was such resistance from Republicans just on Trump letting back in Chinese students to US colleges and universities. Why would they let in Chinese in on important jobs when there are superior white people to do them?
Chinese are already going back to China with lower pay over the US. Look at AI. They didn’t let Americans know that Chinese played an important role in the development of US AI. They’re still not and they’re letting Americans assume that white people only are behind US artificial intelligence developments.
So why are there Chinese going back to China over the US? It’s obvious. White people are taking all the credit. So why would you work for the US when they’re going to give your credit to someone else? Are they going to pay them the nine figure salaries that Zuckerberg is doing to get the best (who are Chinese) to work for him so META can catch up to have a leading AI?
Palmer Luckey seems to forget that Peter Thiel was a supporter of his company, Anduril, like with Palantir. I can tell you directly from a Chinese woman I know that dated a higher level Palantir guy that Alex Karp behind the scenes discourages anyone of importance at Palantir not to date anyone Chinese. All of Peter Thiel’s ventures hold the same anti-China outlook.
So with that philosophy, how does that visa scheme work? Is Palmer Luckey going to hire Chinese talent into Anduril? Palmer Luckey was a part of that Silicon Valley culture that was accused of major discrimination cases against women and minorities which was also the reason many Chinese left for China’s Silicon Valley in Shenzhen to where many of China’s top advanced tech companies are now said to beating the US now. Are they going to lure Chinese with big pay but deny them any position that could threaten US national security interests? Again, if the US has endless amounts of money to do that, why are they complaining about foreigners stealing jobs from Americans and trade deficits with other countries?
I bet we’re going to see the US in the near future enact laws that prevent Chinese from traveling freely from the US under national security concerns. That way they can lure Chinese, not give them the jobs that were promised, and then prevent them from leaving the US to work for China.
