China had already forbade their top researchers to even leave China.

Also foreign investments into Chinese AI labs have already been forbidden and asked to exit

I wonder what will happen to Chinese employees of Anthropic/OpenAI/Google Gemini? Given the ubiquitous Chinese names in AI papers there must be quite a few.

They probably have gotten their PR or in the process, but naturalization requires five years after that, so there must be some still not citizen yet.

If you are born in China to Chinese parents, China considers you under it's jurisdiction for life. You can't travel to another country and start working against Chinese interests without consequences.

That's not true. You can renounce your Chinese citizenship and it's actually required if you acquire another citizenship.

This is sort of true. China can forcibly reinstate Chinese citizenship at their own discretion.

I guess in the same sense that the U.S. considers they have jurisdiction globally. Not de jure, but a de facto reality.

Yes. mind you this is just about the Swedish bookseller who was abducted from Thailand in 2018. There is not much defense for China here, even a what aboutism the USA doesn’t do much.

that is to avoid having them arrested by the US under "US national security concerns".

It is also prevent the employees leaving because the lure of US capital

Do you have sources? I would like to read more about that.
