Why in the frontier technology sector, whether it is general large models or vertical AI applications, do leading players mostly concentrate overseas? Even many entrepreneurs originally from China, after achieving success, choose to expand abroad.

Looking at recent cases makes it clear—such as the surgical robot company that was acquired, which chose Singapore as its registration location; and an artificial intelligence application platform that also established itself in Singapore. This reflects not only business decisions but also a comprehensive consideration of talent, capital, and regulatory environment. ByteDance's expansion into overseas markets also shows the founder frequently active in Singapore; although their nationality remains unchanged, their actions speak volumes.

Behind this wave of going global is a rational choice based on ecological environment, ease of financing, and market openness. Those who can provide a better soil for innovation will attract the best teams and projects.

Basically, it's just poor ecosystem development. Talent and capital tend to flow to places with more freedom, which is quite normal.

To be honest, Singapore is now like Hong Kong, with capital flowing there.

Basically, it's a soil issue. Singapore really is a good place to mix... --- Isn't this just voting with your feet? People tend to move upward, as always. --- It's not that I don't love my country, but there are too many restrictions domestically... --- Looking at the difficulty of financing, it's clear. There's nothing to hide, right? --- I just want to ask, when will the domestic environment be as open as this, and then what? --- It's really not a wave of going overseas, it's a wave of fleeing, okay haha. --- When regulations tighten, geniuses will leave, that's inevitable. --- Everyone wants to establish a registration location in Singapore, so competition is also fierce... --- Capital always seeks the most advantageous places, that's normal, right? --- I'm tired of this kind of news. Can it really change anything?

Honestly, now entrepreneurs are being pushed to Singapore. What does that indicate? Instead of shouting slogans every day, it's better to go directly to places where you can make money.
