Consider that a lot of the talent the US attracts is from China, and they're leaving for economic rather than political reasons. If opportunities open up at home, and the US's standing erodes, that can swing a lot of momentum in their favor. Given the recent spikes in violence against Indian-Americans and tightening of immigration policies as a whole, Indian immigrants might also move to China rather than the US.
- pizzetta 10y agoUnsure how things are now btwn China and India, but they have not always been the best of friends and often compete against one another, so it remains to be seen if they view china as a viable option over their own country.
- throwahjh 10y agoChina and India are also deeply racist. I'm Indian, and I've been to China. If you're brown skinned in China, you are treated far worse than you are in the US. Likewise, if you're Chinese (or look Chinese - people from the North East of India), most of India treats you very badly. And if you're a woman with Chinese features.. well let's just say that there's a (deeply pejorative) term for that in India. In both countries, if you're white (occidental), you'll be treated MUCH MUCH better than a darker skinned person. And if you're black.. it's even worse. So it's not easy for Indians to move to China, or for a Chinese person to move to India. Of course moving back to your own country of origin is (usually) easier.
