Correct 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.
Arabic has some marks and different start/middle/end forms but it is simpler
EDIT: Looks like I'm wrong, I did the wrong conversion while on glassdoor. Salary in china are way lower than SV
My point is that people move where the money is, when the salary are gonna be higher, people are gonna move there

Except for WeChat? Wasn't there an article a while back touting how WeChat is ahead of Facebook in terms of user experience?
Is this supposed to be a joke? I hardly see any non-Chinese using wechat....

It gets a positive response in terms of usability, technical capabilities, etc.

Also, converting spoken Korean into text can be tricky for non native speakers (e.g. 맛 is pronounced 'Mat' although the spelling would indicate 'Mas')
For 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.
As a native born American, I see a surprising amount of small business owners who are successful are not from America. Even in the small town (Nicholasville, KY population ~20,000) I'm from, most of the convenience stores and gas stations are owned by a single middle eastern family that is super friendly to everyone. I went to school with Charlie, one of their sons, who was the first to be born and raised in the US. I see so many Americans who were raised in relative ease and comfort simply being out hustled by immigrants and "foreigners" who have more drive.
You know what, that is great! The healthy mix of diversity is what makes America (already) great. If a family legally comes from Mexico and wants to hustle their way into success, I'm all for it. Immigration is not a bad thing.

They should consider democracy, then. Educated people like that.
I was born in a communist country. It's not surprising to me that smart people want to leave.

I disagree, because the Korean alphabet requires composition of glyphs Arabic has some marks and different start/middle/end forms but it is simpler

The US needs to clean up its act, as well, as it is losing many of the most desirable Chinese immigration candidates to Canada now.
