> Most people are happy being mere millionaires than billionaires It's not about money. Creating a new technology or business is like giving birth and if you are based in China, Xi and his friends can come and rip the baby out of your crib. It doesn't matter how successful or high profile you are, some communist party leader can and will rape you, figuratively and literally (See Peng Shuai).

Of course it's about money. People take chance if reward offsets. And it's easy money if business aligns with state interests, with Ma being properly fucked over after being warned many times when his ponzi lending proposal scheme. Because prospect of stupid amount money made his brain go dumb dumb and think it was fine challenging regulators. See how PRC hard tech jobs that 5year proposal is prioritizing is seeing explosion in compensation and opportunities when cracked down sectors of soft sci aren't. In which case Xi and his friends come over and give you personal handjobs along with bags of of state subsidies. Or as if sexual harassment meaningfully impacts competitiveness US business enviroment. Or that sports star is a business leader now? That's like saying kpop / jp idols / hollywood will fail because you can fuck your way to success. As if fucking way to top is CCP exclusive trick. The fact of the matter remains, more high skilled PRC nationals are staying or returning to PRC than ever to work in well compensated PRC industries where there aren't bamboo ceilings and with recent developments like China initiative, less targetted political prosecution. At least in PRC you get fucked for doing too well, and raped to get ahead, vs in US where PRC nationals are increasingly being fucked and kept down due to whims of domestic politics. Again, PRC is so alluring for Chinese Americans that US has to literally sanction and start kangaroo courts to scare folks from working in China.
