Is it just a thing I’ve experienced in a Western country or don’t tech types tend to lean on the social libertarian ideals including free speech? Because they may not care for China so much in that regard.
The loyalty is to the paycheck. Not like I am free do or say anything under current management and I assume the roles would be insulated from the Chinese government. They know the cultures differ and they would scare off nerds being evil and present.
I sure as hell wouldn’t risk my life out of prison on such an assumption.
“They won’t do anything to me, I’m a foreigner” is harshly proven wrong all over the world all the time. The idea that China would be any different to Joe Tech Worker when there are thousands more where he came from is silly.

Depends on the corner of the tech world I think. In FOSS circles, sure.
I could be convinced of anything with enough shovels full of money.
I guess some people are like that. To me, being rich isn’t worth the trade-off of having to watch what I say all the time.

I was assuming remote roles. Living in China would be too dangerous.
Same.
