Well..those engineers were all training in the USA at MIT, Stanford, etc. but got the boot in 2025.
This wouldn’t really negate what I’m talking about in terms of their organizational advantages or the argument I’m making about them not just “throwing people” at the problem. But also, I don’t see any evidence that this is true; it seems their hiring strategy is to grab researchers that recently graduated from top Chinese universities as their talent
As far as I understand it is decently true, but not to the extent that they would be incapable of doing what they're achieving. Either way you're right, it doesn't refute your claims in any way - those researchers are still doing work in China for Chinese companies, regardless of where they got their education.
