Maybe, but it could also be the reverse. I few years ago, I was hiring for some Data Engineering positions in a European country, and highly disproportional part of the most qualified applicants were Chinese, but with below average language skills. (Chinese people are a VERY small minority in the general population in my country.) I would expect many companies to not consider many of them, due to the communication limitations. That would mean that those who ignored those issues could get a LOT of them, and possibly at a lower-than-average salary, for their technical ability.
