You might place an upper limit using history but in this case I'd guess that limit would end up being much larger than the present semiconductor industry itself might last.

And I think my prior response in the thread was rather highbrow and clever, referencing ancient history.

This seems like a side issue from the question of whether the charges are legitimate.

The question is are they still controlled by the PRC. China doesn't allow dual citizenship (like other Asian countries), so people might legitimately want to work abroad while keeping their native passport.

From your link it looks like they might do R&D for Oculus in China (but may not even be able to sell it there due to the data-collection tie in required).

Not sure what you mean by catering to the export market. b2b sales would be just as restricted as sales to consumers.

Though it depends on the state and in my experience there are typically some differences, such as bikes are required to share the lane.

Also the number who turned their offers down (and perhaps the number they disqualified due to being overqualified and too expensive).

Ultimately kind of a meaningless metric.

Also it tends to cost more via tolls to drive any significant distance than to take the train or bus (or plane for that matter), unless you have multiple people in the car. The car situation in Japan strikes me as more a case of regulatory capture than wise use of land. Because even small towns with vast empty spaces operate this way.
