    You can't compare out-of-university hiring in Chicomia and USA. All an every major tech company hires temp HRs just to flood relevant to subject university job fairs.

    There are 3 or 4 universities in China that prepare semiconductor process engineers (and loosy ones for sure in comparison to Taiwanese). Every year, there are as much recruiters at the job fairs in all of these universities as graduates.

    If the guy can tell apart the frontend from backend litho maskset, he is hired on the spot.

    Let me politically educate you!

    In USSR, up until the 1922, reds were collecting all taxes. Then they explicitly permitted private companies in between 22-25 and gave quite good tax perks.

    In 1925 all companies except luxury goods producers were nationalised. Luxury goods firms were in private hands up until the death of Stalin.

    During the middle of Khrushev's term, they first tried to unscrew the economy by autonomising companies, following the idea "shit floats". Only the biggest companies remained institutionally part of the government. Every other company was no longer GosPlan managed.

    The first Khrushev's reform had moderate effect, the most terrible loss makers did close, but people found ways around. Funds kept flowing into Swiss and US bank accounts of corrupt officials.

    Second and third reform were mostly targeted at technological improvements and furthering autonomisation, but had 0 effect as they were never carried out. They existed on official papers only.

    Private gold mining was permitted periodically throughout the Soviet reign, whenever the state was short on gold.

    Cooperative farms were de-facto private, up until 72-76 when they were all finally nationalised

    Few foreign enterprises had formal right of ownership of production plants through entire post-Stalin period - better known were Cocacola, and factories of Armand Hammer, and Fiat

    C is programming lingua franca. Anybody calling himself a programmer and not knowing C is not a programmer.

    Before the mainstream software programming turned to be web programming, C was taught in every computer science university programme.

    Not knowing C limits your competence to a small pond called web programming.

    Even, if their consumption will double, tripple, or quadripple it will barely compensate for decline of global demand.

    High added value industries have small market in PRC. The yearly variance in American consumer spending is the size of the whole Chinese domestic market.

    In order to sustain itself on domestic consumtion, China needs to increase household income by 10 times. China is a high tax country, but they do really good at stimulating spending (1/4 to 1/3 of your income can be claimed in monthly tax returns)

    Not true. 11F35's RD170s were recovered after parachute landing and are still standing at Energomash museum. First standalone Zenit launches were also all recovered. All Russian engines has to be test fired multiple times prior to launch. Yes, even beryllium/H2O2 sludge and B5H9 + ClF5 burning wunderwaffes like RD270M were test fired.
