Many more companies have operations in India than in China based on my experience. This naturally opens up more opportunities for Indians in US companies.

There are plenty of Chinese in tech and adjacent industries, I've just found that they tend to be in roles that interact less with others beyond their team. Indians have a more Western disposition to a large extent and are more relatable culturally, so that also opens up more visible roles.

This is all anecdotal of course.

Its a number of factors; English language skill availability is the top one, but the price of Chinese skilled labor has been skyrocketing--its now about three times as expensive, conservatively, as Indian skilled labor.

Throw in having to worry about securing your technology from your own employees half as much, and its not really a wonder as to why Indians are outpacing the Chinese in the tech sector.
