I have worked with (but not for) a number of Chinese companies over the years. All of them had technical writers, either as
direct employees or contractors, but all were working in US offices. Most of the documentation for products manufactured in China that I have encountered are either marked "printed in the USA" or are written in such a manner as to suggest to
me that they were probably generated by their engineers. Of
course, I am sure my experience is nowhere near to being a
comprehensive survey of everything that's being done in China.

Companies such as ZTE, in Shenzhen, China, employ English-speaking
technical writers. Would any US technical writer on this list, if
the technical writing climate in the US got very inhospitable,
consider moving there to work? That is, if the world market for
documents in English expands, would you consider going where
there's more work?
