“Many of you say that Appen should end its business in China, as you don’t want to see money wasted there. If Appen China could separate from Appen International, I think it would be a good thing. It would likely fetch a good price, considering that the Chinese division has been operating for many years and has significant local partnerships. Due to trade restrictions, AI companies from other regions cannot directly enter China. Perhaps Appen could serve as a valuable bridge. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but in China they are working tirelessly. I don’t see how the new CEO can bring anything significant, and there seems to be a deep misunderstanding about China among you, including the CEO. It feels like an opportunity is being wasted.”
