#2I believe the author should have explored another reason: English.
One of the legacies of the British Empire is that a lot of the educated people in the world use English. Even in Europe, it is the lingua franca for business and academia. (In mighty Germany, the top institutions publish in English).
I think the applications and work would have to be done in English for China to effectively attract global talent.

#3TLDR: Tech success is driven by openness of ideas and people, and China's control and oversight of the internet and other data stifles the ability of companies to execute quickly or with confidence (e.g., security, IP).

The looming cloud of deadly pollution doesn't help attract talent either.

The problem would be much smaller if they used a non-tonal language with a manageable alphabet or abjad (like Cyrillic or Arabic)

Korean's alphabet is simpler than both you listed imho, but that's just my take.

#10For people from Russia or other countries China could be attractive option.
Take-home money can be good, especially with low taxation.
US is not really a competition, it is relatively unfriendly to foreigners, very hard to move there.
But I think China wants to mainly increase talent retention. There are many Chinese who stay in US after finishing their studies there. China wants those educated people back.
