TLDR is no, strategic companies with massive state industrial funding have little autonomy. Even TW (and US) semi workers don't have autonomy to work in PRC semi industry for greater pay. Why is it unseemly to offer a person better pay and locations - TW workers sure liked getting 3-5x salary while being an hour flight from home, until TW gov said no. Ditto with US but on pay. Because it undermines strategic position of incumbant / host.
