    Good. An age of Communist technological supremacy is on the horizon.

    Jin Xing, a former chief engineer for NXP Semiconductors NV, moved back to China and founded Autorock, which competes with his former employer. A new study by Strider Technologies Inc. found that large European technology companies lost over 30,000 experts to Chinese organizations, mostly in semiconductors and telecom equipment makers, over the past two decades. The Chinese Foreign Ministry rejected Strider’s conclusions, stating that China incentivizes intellectual property theft with cash grants, tax breaks, and other perks. The report highlights the scale of Chinese recruitment of Western tech workers and highlights the growing threat from China in recruitment of technological talent. The European companies that have lost the most employees to Chinese firms include Nokia Oyj, Ericsson AB, Siemens AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, and NXP. The workers’ motivations for leaving ranged from lack of job opportunities, well-compensated compensation, and a sense of patriotism. China sees leadership in the semiconductor sector as vital to its military and commercial goals, and legal and trade barriers in the US will only push them to ramp up operations elsewhere. Huawei Technologies Co., ZTE Corp., Lenovo Group Ltd. and Wingtech Technology Co. are among the beneficiaries. Strider says it has no evidence that Jin stole IP, and attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.

      “Could it be that we have created a hostile environment for people of Chinese descent and they leave to find better opportunities overseas because of our awful treatment of them?”

      “No, it must be because those sneaky Chinamen steal other nation’s technology and scientists!”

        tbh chinese doctorate holders contribute to science as much as their european counterparts or even more: so they benefit europe or the us where the research is conducted. but when they start to excel or outnumber their european counterparts then they are considered as a threat and they need to be ousted: when ousted europe pulls the surprised pikachu face when those researchers settle in their home country and try to commercialize their findings: those people benefit from state grants and subsidies. Russia, a country as a large as China with major state budget and yet their scientific contributions aren’t as numerous, because there aren’t as much hard working researchers as the chinese ones, and the state is underfunded since all the oil money goes to oligarch pockets and what not to spend on expensive cars and luxurious living. So chinese success is earned by merit since the chinese think long term instead of other wealthy but silly countries. What is wrong about plagiarism ? everyone can copy, but what matters is what u make of it next:Steve Jobs did copy, Bill G also did, why china should be an exception: US also making last dicth efforts to hinder chinese progress. At least chinese wealth funds beneficial research instead of promoting wars and subdizing weapon industries. I hope europe sees through this because the us economy is built on theft and hypocrisy. Brics is a first step, but when more countries join the club europe will have to choose in which side of the scale it wants to be, and thus it decides on how it would tip whether in its favour or not. Even after destroying nordstream, europe was already tied with india and russia by buying russian gas throu india, and it didnt buy american gas, since it didn’t make any economical sense. the world would be more peaceful with the absence of american imperialism

          If the west truly cared about not plagiarizing inventions, they wouldn’t use paper, gunpowder or the printing press.
