    The language barrier is definitely a problem, but it’s also worth remembering that a lot of top scientists in US are ethnically Chinese. There’s already been numerous cases of high profile scientists moving to China, and the trend will only accelerate as a result of growing sinophobia. Each expert leaving to China is a big deal because they bring their expertise with them.

      I dont disagree with you there. I think here we are talking about people who grew up in the US and what they would do. Maybe that is a bad assumption on my part. I guess there are some smaller number of 2nd or 3rd gen Chinese people who grew up learning Chinese and may have an easier time immigrating to China than anyone else would.

        I do think that educated people who won’t have interest in moving to the global south will likely still choose to leave the US and move to other global north countries. That’s still going to cause harm to US tech sector in the long run.
