I have good news for you. DeepSeek openly bragged that none of its people have “overseas experience”. They are all local talents.

Weren’t some of them educated abroad?

And as we all know the Russians, oops the Chinese, invented LLMs and transformers.

Randomly picking the first author in the r1 paper, Daya Guo, he interned and was a researcher for Microsoft, a well known Chinese company. So I guess he didn't have any "overseas experience" whatsoever.

I'm sure China has plenty of talent. But an oppressive society is going to be self limiting.

Your snarky tone aside, “overseas” usually means outside of one’s country. Microsoft has research teams all over the globe. You don’t have to be in the U.S. to work for Microsoft.
