I am sure these engineers will be very protected by the CCP. And what other company offers legal immunity as a benefit?

Yes, but how do you know for sure? It's not like you can take their word for it.

Just the same that you can know for sure that your boss won't place a hit on you if you leave. The consequences for China to do that are too high, so it is not in their interest.
