Fuck it hurts me to say this as a former China hawk. But:

How does Chinese immigration work for STEM?

What does residency look like for someone making $500+ k in America?

What are the Y Combinators? (No CCP Tans.)

Why reach for China before Europe? Similar sized economies; much smaller language barrier for an immigrant from the USA; and with stories like this being what makes you ask the question, relatively more freedom.
