    That's fascinsting. My company has assets in India and central America that aren't just outsourced labor, but full team members who add a benefit of global presence for timezones and support as well as expertise depending on their team, but I can't speak to how the pay is, as I simply don't know. My hope is this would eventually help to bring up the entire nation, but time will tell if the economy can be boosed by minority buying power without locking out non-tech workers I think.

    I think it is interesting to see China emerging as a market superpower, and wonder what it will look like with a sort of US/Euro-centric and a China-centric global split in global economies.

    From the article:

    As companies like Didi, Kuaishou, Huawei, and TikTok expand across Latin America, they are hiring young, local tech professionals and accelerating their corporate careers. In return, Chinese companies are forming a specialized talent pool to gain an edge in a region where roles at American and European companies have long held prestige. Rest of World spoke with nine employees at Chinese tech companies in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia — Latin America’s largest markets — and found that these firms commonly serve as young corporate employees’ gateway into the region’s coveted tech cohort. Employees’ positions ranged broadly from mid to high-level management roles in marketing, operations, and compliance, among others.
