Well China built their country by stealing the tech. So no surprise there.
Never let Chinese Nationals in secret projects like this.
It's a pretty lame statement that China can't develop these things themselves. At best? Stealing other people's work may get you started and/or get you ideas. You're still going to need to evolve your own engineering talent who can run with the stuff. And worse? When you finally try to sell things that arose from the theft – other countries will be able to ban your product.
American companies should be careful on hiring Chinese from China
They steal other country's lands. You think they can't steal tech? 😂
Whats new?
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge.
An American tech giant hiring a Chinese employee – wow what a brilliant idea
And they let him go?!
So…. That's why apple don't have auto drive yet? Because China stole it?
A country propped up on bootlegs, right? Stop asking why, start asking how, and how we can protect ourselves and our IP.
Why should we punish his success? ❤
This is exactly why these companies should NOT be hiring international students. These kids are paying for an education and are getting hired WITHOUT work permits. They have STUDY permits. You've got plently of local resources with the same education you didn't need to hire these folks but the stupid diversity folks are prioritizing skin color rather then economic stability and national security. Hire local residents. Not foreigners….
So sick of the racist foreign recruiter gatekeepers keeping white and LOCAL black folks (not fresh off the boat Nigerians) out of jobs in North America just so some more Asians, Indians and middle easterners and other non-citizens can have them.

Jail him
Good thing it was only apple. Last thing Chinas environment needs is autonomous vehicles
Nothing new.
All of American tech is on sale. A massive brain drain that is not stop anytime soon. And unfortunately, I think this may perpetuate discrimination towards foreign workers, which is really sad and counterproductive in and it of itself 😢
simple if you asain you get screened? 😂 go back home
That's what happens when Bidens and the dems allow china to do stuff in America
Remember, when companies do these illegal activities its civil crime, when peasants do it it's criminal. Double standards are fun…
C.O.P = Corporate Owned Police
This is what you get for hiring chinese people/
of course he’s chinese (im east asian btw so this aint racist, its fax)
Thing is most top US phd programs are full of Chinese students…why educate them?
Easy fix for tech companies. Stop hiring Chinese employees. Problem solved.
Ask yourself this question, a corporation has more response and activity from our US government than the police department who requests for information and assistance with homelessness, drug addiction and abuse, and gang violence all together. Civil Rico at its finest
'Most favored minority' continue to make fools of this country.
You see IVE been saying this for a long time !!!! American complained about Hispanic ppl coming into this country. How many have stolen tech and take it back to there country. Now how many Chinese have been stealing our tech and sending it back to china
Why was he able to his leave the country the same day they raided his house? It almost looks like they delibrately let him go.
Expecting Communist China to help with this?
Maybe in a billion years pipe dream
Where do you think Apple manufactures their product? 😀
Hahahhahahahahahhahaahhahahahahhahaahhahahahhahahahjaha
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Why not stop hiring foreigners?
Maybe stop hiring Chinese nationals.
