硅谷的中国人比印度人多吗？

Depends on your point of view. Indians tend to cluster in the more technical areas, Chinese spread out to include marketing and nontechnical stuff. So, the answer varies with the enterprise.

看哪方面了。印度人倾向于从事技术性岗位，而中国人多分布在市场营销等非技术岗位。

所以，看是哪家企业了，得出的答案会有所不同

From the 1960’s and 1970’s, “engineering” in Silicon Valley meant hardware - i.e. electronics from wires to microchips. Intel was king. AMD was queen. In those days, foreign engineers were mostly Japanese. But in the 1980’s, when you said “engineering” suddenly you meant software - not hardware. That’s when the demographics of Silicon Valley changed from Japanese to Indian, which is still the same today. When the internet became public (it had belonged to the DoD) the languages that built it were quickly developed into the java-based system we see today. Java engineers from India have become indispensable. As data became bigger and bigger (ask Oracle) the need for DB engineers was critical. As an Indian java engineer once quipped to me, “Baby boys in India are born with an Oracle DBA on their foreheads.” As for the Chinese, they are here, but not in nearly the numbers as Indians.

从1960年代到1970年代，“工程”在硅谷意味着硬件，比如从网线到微芯片的电子产品。

其中英特尔是王者，AMD是王后。

当时，外国工程师主要是日本人。

然而到了1980年代，人们所说的“工程”突然指的是软件了，而不是硬件了。

正是从那时候，硅谷的外国工程师，从日本人变成了印度人，并且一直保持到今天。

互联网开放后，开发语言演变成我们现在看到的JAVA。

来自印度的Java工程师变得不可或缺。

随着数据越来越庞大，数据库工程师的需求愈发迫切。

作为一名印度JAVA工程师，曾经有人这样对我打趣，说“印度男孩子一出生，额头上就印着Oracle 数据库管理员这几个字。”

中国人也来了，但是没有印度人多。
