>nothing like SV at all
Seems there are different definitions of "SV". Mine is a geographic region with the unique combination of ingredients for incubating new technologies into valuable businesses and services that mature to some form of market liquidity. Has nothing to do with where they hire their employees from.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoSo a monoculture hiring Chinese employees catering to Chinese consumers. Why should we even care then? Google and Facebook employ more Burmese employees in SV than China does in all of its tech companies, guess what companies are dominating the emerging internet sector in Myanmar, a country literally in china’s own backyard? China’s Silicon Valley is an internal concern that has nothing to do with the rest of the world.
- SkyMarshal 9y ago>China’s Silicon Valley is an internal concern that has nothing to do with the rest of the world. This is pretty short-sighted and naval gazing, but I cbf to argue it. I'll just point out there are people with far more credibility than HN rando's demonstrating with their actions the opposite of what you're saying.
