I wonder what will happen to Chinese employees of Anthropic/OpenAI/Google Gemini? Given the ubiquitous Chinese names in AI papers there must be quite a few.

If you are born in China to Chinese parents, China considers you under it's jurisdiction for life. You can't travel to another country and start working against Chinese interests without consequences.
replyThat's not true. You can renounce your Chinese citizenship and it's actually required if you acquire another citizenship.
replyThis is sort of true. China can forcibly reinstate Chinese citizenship at their own discretion.

replythat is to avoid having them arrested by the US under "US national security concerns".
replyIt is also prevent the employees leaving because the lure of US capital
