I've been reading a little on Steven Klepper's "Hero Company Theory" - successful big firms (PayPal mafia, Fairchild traitorous eight) spawn spinoffs at a crazy rate. so I wondered why we never apply this context to Chinese firms. bc from these screenshots from DeepSeek, there might be a Huawei mafia

had to ask for proof bc DeepSeek (and OpenAI) was giving me a list without actually verifying whether the founder(s) was ex-Huawei, just based off of rumors. I can't help but think that we don't apply this context to a firm like Huawei bc of certain biases. the Huawei mafia is pretty real
