What are your thoughts on the language to use when a nation-state backed ‘company’ hires away a critical mass of people at many multiples of the market rate as a means to gain market dominance.

(e.g. China recently hired away a few thousand engineers from TSMC this way)

That's fine on the surface.. Would you go work for such a state? I value my time and freedom more. If things go wrong I won't get paid, passport may be taken, perhaps jailed.
