* I dont hear anything elsewhere, China being the only exception. And they're feared, to the point where Huawei's banned.
Not every Chinese developer could get out of China to get higher pay because of tight competition, family, and traditions.
It should be mentioned that:
1. US companies in China (like Google, Microsoft, etc.) do not give higher pay than Chinese companies (like BAT, Toutiao, Pinduoduo).
2. Apartment price in China is very high. You can't easily find an apartment inside Beijing's 5th-ring-road having a <$10,000/m2 price.
Developers that cannot go aboard can only work hard in Chinese companies to pay the apartment loan.
