I am not questioning their choice, I am just saying that being a cheap labour here in canadian is better off than in china work as a senior engineering or R&D personnel
money is not a problem ... there is CASH that is willingly to be spend, but there is nowhere to spend - the problem is the lack of creativity, that contrains the creativition of new project.
as we are already behind, and mostly what we do are catching up. Catching up means more or less copy catting, which kills the creativity.
do you see how many immigrants are doing that? they are the really early masters/phD in china, after CR. and they could be really useful and take the leadership roles. Instead, they are here, doing cheap labour works.
