this news first appeared in 2023. but Microsoft failed to relocate all those researchers. it means something happened.

Microsoft failed in 2023..
After this article was first published, Microsoft said: “the number reported is not accurate. There is no ‘so-called Vancouver Plan.’”

this is from above link ..
“Emigration is not that appealing to many Microsoft people in China,” a Beijing-based employee told Rest of World, after declining an offer to relocate to Vancouver. “If you deduct taxes, every place except Seattle may come with a pay cut compared to Beijing. The living quality would really suffer.”
even Chinese researchers don't want to leave home country because of obvious reasons..
