I'm currently living in Shanghai and I want to work for YC China. Will YC China or Qi Lu post any job openings somewhere?

Given the sensitive nature of this topic, I propose HackerNews be given the authority of drafting the Code of Ethics for YC China in order to ensure democratic accountability. Posters could nominate particular statues/principles they like and the community at large can vote on them.

I assume companies with websites censored by the great firewall won't have access to YC China funding?

Since when Code of Ethics equals to McCarthyism?

That's amazing to anyone who has struggled to connect an Android device to Windows via USB just to access a file or two.

Ah, this is the same Qi Lu who was basically responsible for the creation of Bing, then got Office and AI in a reorg, and then somehow got pushed out by Satya and went on to be CTO of Baidu for awhile.

The YCR connection makes sense, since he has a lot of experience in AI where much of YCR is now at, but it will be interesting to see how he will interact with Bret Victor's group. Are they going to start a YC-like incubator in China? It will be interesting to see how this compares to Kai Fu's Innovation Works.
