Lol, you really think the h1bs will go to China to work 996?

No, Chinese will stay home instead of immigrating to the US.

China draws mainly on the talents of the best of its billion+ population. But America has had its pick of the best of the world's 8 billion people. If people stop immigrating to the US, then we will surely fall behind technologically, economically and militarily, and soon we will be making t-shirts for Chinese for $5 an hour.

For big tech 100k isn’t too much of a hit to hire the best AI researchers of Chinese descent, so they won’t be impacted.

It will be too much if the worker leaves after a month, or gets hit by a truck.

If an H1B worker "leaves after a month" they get deported. Meanwhile, nothing in the world can prevent the Bus Factor so I don't see how that's even relevant.
