I think the numbers for China need to be qualified. STEM PhDs making 11k USD a month versus senior software engineers making like 3-4k a month.
Chinese semiconductor engineers make 15-30k RMB per month with a MS or PHD, weighed higher for PHDs.

80k RMB per month is huge in China.

They get paid comparable to average semiconductor engineers in the US (~70k USD). Just their cost of living is way lower.

It makes sense for companies like Google, Microsoft etc, but what kind of tech was Twitter developing? They didn’t do anything new until Elon came around and started to push Twitter in the financial sector as the bare minimum. Tho it’s more then likely an exaggerated but Elon also said that there seem to be 10 managers for every developers at Twitter.
That’s just how it is in tech. Mostly middle management and/or deadweight.

While Foreign Policy is publishing arrested Chinese officials as evidence of corruption in China, this is going on unabated in the USA.
Who would thought next-door granny who weaves blanket on the rocking chair can be so corrupted - US lawmakers are not just corrupt but corrupt with greedy old souls that cling to their power as they know there's tons of money to make from their positions.

its so crazy that semi professionals need to get a phd and they still end up making less than a new grad at amazon. it's to the point where semi talent would effectively make more in china than in the us, which is unprecedented.

you would think the USG would try to plug this gap, especially how concerned they are concerned with keep US hegemony on semiconductor. if this very basic task can't be accomplished, how the hell is USG gonna preserve it's lead??
