I mean it's probably a good idea to avoid traveling to the US for at least a few years for everyone, but I'm trying to work out what AI has to do with anything.

They're trying to imply that they would get kidnapped and forced to work for openAI or something. In reality they'd probably just get job offers, which they'd accept because as crap as the US is right now, it's got to be better than China.
It is simply that China doesn't want their citizens working for American companies unless China is the one that's placed them there.

It really doesn't
They are probably worried about them not coming back because they got recruited.
It's not like AI is a massive secret or anything, it's a very well studied field. The biggest difference is just the training set used. Individual people aren't going to make any difference unless they're carrying HDs full of training data around with them.

Yes, but most people don't know that. Any excuse to make another big player look bad.
Most countries would grab onto something like this for some free propaganda.
ETA: The US and China especially love sniping at each other like this.
Yeah but losing talent you trained sucks... we are all replaceable sure... but all of us a whole are actually NOT replaceable.
So I see the concern here but at the same time a person who wants to make the move likely can just get a job in the US and go through the glorious H1-B process, I heard it is very "culturally" enriching
Honestly, I can't blame them.
