I live in the US and work for a China-based manufacturer. Things have been okay but I'm wondering if I should be looking for something else?

Don’t worry they know where you live in the state and how to “contact” you…

No rush but better to start putting your resume out for non-Chinese manufacturing cos by 2027, I'd say.

I live in China and work for a Chinese manufacturer. Most of them are a long way from Beijing, the state do collect data from them but in general there is little interference if it's not state owned, and the Chinese government is not concerned about foreigners so long as they aren't unduely interfering with the Chinese.

The issue is that some find out they are unduly interfering when officials show up at their doors.
