In that regard, China just based on its sheer scale and what they've already accomplished, even if it won't attract talent to the same extent that SV did, will still inevitably lead the pack in an increasingly fragmented world.

China has more domestic talent than Silicon Valley and the rest of the entire world combined. China should focus on attracting top level experts and researchers in their fields, prioritizing Chinese emigres. China definitely does not need to attract rank and file engineers/researchers like the US is forced to. China had a net surplus of STEM talent, unlike the US which has a deficit.

China should attract even top Indian talent, who are now being displaced from the US.

The U.S. Is Quietly Pausing Some Arms Sales to Europe​

said that he didn’t believe in the value of certain foreign military sales, according to two administration officials with knowledge of the discussion. He added that he didn’t like the idea of selling Patriots—which can intercept incoming missiles—to Denmark, because they are in short supply and should be reserved for the United States to use as needed.

The comments surprised some State officials, but they soon learned that it wasn’t just Denmark having its access cut off. Current and former administration officials told me the Pentagon has identified some weapons as being in short supply, and is moving to block new requests for those systems coming in from Europe. It wasn’t immediately clear to those I spoke with how long the hold will last, how many weapons are on the list, or if it could expand to include even more weapons. Few exemptions will be granted.

There have been concerns about Patriot shortages for months: The U.S. has only about 25 percent of the missile interceptors needed for the Pentagon’s military plans, according to Defense Department officials.

Much logic, very smart.

This is what happens when Russia wins the Ukraine War.

The Bagram airfield is well within China's striking distance anyway.

The ones that will of be actual use to China will be few in number, easily worth the 100k to American institutions and likely will get exempted.

Well, 100k every 6 yrs is peanuts to US big tech. Won't even effect entry level hiring decisions (nevermind the fact that entry-level engineering jobs are basically non-existent at the moment). The masses of Indian H1bs in FAANG are worthless. Indian H1bs below principal/distinguished engineer are just trash tier software grunts (depends on company, plenty of principals at companies like Microsoft are also trash tier).

Idk, you must be a 10x developer lol. I'm still below principal

Republicans are white supremacists. When I say that it's because that's the logic they're thinking why they're not worried over losing HB-1 visa immigrants from overseas. Any white person they think will do a better job. Every non-white person that has STEM job somewhere in the US are affirmative action cases to them and not better than a white person. They're not worried over losing overseas talent because white people are superior and the US doesn't need them so no loss. Why do you think they were adamant against Trump allowing over a half a million Chinese students in the US? Despite how a large portion of the US's artificial intelligence AI developers are Chinese after claiming AI is macro level changing technology in the world. It's because of whites and no one else. I have to laugh at all these people trying to convince MAGA that this is going to be damaging to the US like they're able to see that? It's white supremacist philosophy. If they don't believe it then white people are no longer superior.
