Yes most of them are in the West. Most of them also end up staying in the West too.
> Unless the US, Canada, France, Israel etc... closes the visa program for Chinese workers Chinese companies... Consider that Tencent, Baidu etc... all have major offices in SV, Seattle, LA etc.
Having a physical satellite office where only a few select people have access to free flowing data is a lot more expensive and inefficient compared to being able to just freely communicate online. It's a bottleneck.
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoMost of them also end up staying in the West too. Not true anymore - maybe a decade ago but it's not the case today. Even for the ones that do stay, in my experience with the Machine Learning world they are going to work at Chinese owned or financed companies like the ones I mentioned.

- chaostheory 9y agoYou're right about the brain drain no longer being in effect. I suspect it's due to the new shortsighted trend with US immigration policy: https://nextshark.com/u-s-made-getting-visa-difficult-people-china/ https://nextshark.com/u-s-made-getting-visa-difficult-people... Not so much with people wanting to go back. Still I feel it's still more inefficient and expensive compared to just having a free flow of information and data.
