Red Hat has laid off several hundred employees from its Red Hat China division and is relocating part of the Chinese engineering team to its office in India. Various sources mention reductions ranging from 300 to 500 workers, while the overall staff count remains unchanged due to an increase in personnel in the Asia-Pacific region.
The reason behind the winding down of the Chinese division is a new geostrategy that identifies key locations for hiring and investing in personnel. India is now the priority location for deploying engineering teams, where IBM has more employees than in the USA.
