This is a big part of it I think for mainland expats. My parents live in the US. They consume both Chinese and US media, hard to gauge exactly their support but they certainly don't support HK. It's more deep rooted biases stemmed from feeling looked down upon for much of their life as mainlanders. They are also disgusted by HK-UK reunification support. They also seemingly reject things more if western media/culture acts more sympathetic vs matters that go unreported. For example, they are regularly critical of how the government handles speculative real estate in China so it's not as simple as blindly saying they support the Chinese government.

1. Shortage of skilled candidates. For example, we don't have nearly enough skilled engineers, it's in companies interest to appeal to wide range of candidates in the long run. It's hard for individual teams to prioritize beyond the short term.
2. I think most roles will benefit from a diverse pipeline as mentioned above, I think some roles, the work itself benefits from opinions and diverse experiences. I'd argue nursing, teaching it is more impactful than logging. I believe that there has been a focus to change the perception that nurses are "female" or women are kindergarten teachers. I would absolutely support efforts to combat stereotypes and encourage more diversity in those roles.
3. Also with regard of lack of males in school teaching and nursing. Anecdotally, the men I know in those roles don't find their experience in the minority as egregious. That's not say it doesn't happen. Pretty much every woman that I know that works in tech has had negative experiences. https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber
4. People have complained about diversity on frontline combat. Remember "don't ask, don't tell"?

Which schools do you hire the most candidates from?
