Chinese Workers Abandon Silicon Valley for Riches Back Home

> Of the more than 850,000 AI engineers across America, 7.9 percent are Chinese, according to a 2017 report from LinkedIn.

850,000 sounds way way too high.

> While Chinese engineers are well represented in the Valley, the perception is that comparatively fewer advance to the top rungs, a phenomenon labeled the “Bamboo Ceiling.”

American culture does reward asshole-behaviour a lot more than one can tolerate sometimes. It's definitely not just a conservative problem, so don't go blaming it on Trump.

Sociopaths tend to rise to the top in every organization, sadly.

I guess you mean psychopaths, Sociopaths are anti-social, so my guess is they are not charming. It's a generalization but you do not get to the top without being persuasive at decent level and to stay there, you better be good.
