Trump administration to be paid $10bn for brokering TikTok deal

That's fair, lucky enough works better

More and more people who I personally know are considering positions in places they never would've seen as an option before. China is hiring enormous quantities of math professors (other fields too, just can't speak to those). This itself isn't unusual, they've been doing that for decades. It's just that larger swathes of people are looking at it as a real option despite the problems/cultural and language barriers/many real issues (what's in the contracts is often 'adjusted'... depending on the institution, varying levels of corruption... etc). But it's no longer a "clear no" for many. Most westerners still prefer a professorship in their home country or somewhere they're fluent in the lingua franca. But for a lot of people they're having to think about going places they wouldn't have considered. My perspective might be biased because I already live among people who have left their home countries and are unsure about their next steps ('expats', even though I cringe at the term, there really isn't a better one to describe the exact dynamic), so it's people who were willing to leave to begin with.
