Based. The west has long relied on international brain drain (caused by imperial wars and neo-colonialism) to accumulate the "best and the brightest" and put a stranglehold on the tertiary/quaternary sectors. It's amusing to see the shoe on the other foot, especially after the western tech giants have worked so hard to suppress tech worker wages.

In fact, the West gobbling up skilled labor is a factor of imperialism and underdevelopment. Labor is the superior of capital, so the loss of a skilled engineer is always worse than whatever remittances they might return home.
