What does "being voluntarily withdrawn by China" mean exactly? It is like, Red Army soldiers kick down the door at OpenAI and drag away any employees who are Chinese subjects, kicking and screaming?

Does this include Chinese nationals who are dual US citizens (or other non-Chinese nationality) or US refugees? It is very unlikely that those people would be restricted from working at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Also, the mechanism by which this would be enforced would almost certainly have to be US security clearances or ITAR, so maybe the question should specify that the companies would be subject to those (or similar government rules) instead. If the companies just independently forbid Chinese nationals from working for them, that would violate US employment law.

To be clear if either companies forbids it that triggers yes. Both aren't required. Hope it's not too late this mention this

If one of those companies implements a policy to not hire Chinese nationals, without government action, would that be sufficient to resolve Yes?

@ahalekelly that would qualify.
