  • DeepSeek has recruited recent graduates and interns from China’s top universities.
  • Facing visa hurdles and high living expenses, more of China’s AI researchers are choosing opportunities at home rather than abroad.
  • U.S. chip restrictions have forced Chinese companies to accelerate innovation.

I have recently applied for a junior computer scientist position in Europe, U.S., and China. The Chinese employer give me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. In addition to that, the Chinese institute promised me a clear path of advancement, which is not included in my Europe and U.S. offers.

My current employer in Europe is a famously well-paying institution, but my salary is only minorly higher than my Chinese offer, in a much more expensive city than Beijing, and I have endured a lot of crap in order to move to Europe.

The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, I cannot imagine many people will make the same choice I did, especially when they spent most of their lives in China.
