China’s IT industry has seen a wave of resignations and layoffs since last year, affecting the Chinese communist regime’s online censorship. Former employees believe political reasons and economic factors are behind the wave of employee turnover.

Liu Jiang (pseudonym), a former employee of ByteDance, which is the parent company of TikTok, told The Epoch Times recently that he resigned from the company right before the Chinese New Year (Jan. 23, 2023). He said he was involved in the incident of accessing TikTok user data of two American journalists. Adding that his job at the company was reviewing data and labeling user behavior.
