The rest are probably on visas and have to be paid to avoid loss of status.
Laid off means severance package or continuation of salary for some time followed by termination. Furlough - period of employment without pay (although there could still be benefits). Different things.
Yup. It is happening.
Who are the 1/3rd?

Does furlough include a severance package? That’s terrible..
It Doesn't. See previous comment thread.
Furlough doesn’t mean lay off. It literally means no pay, sit at home since there is no work to do. So why severance?

Probably they are cheaper
Cuz they’re probably cheaper and China is pretty much past the worst of it now

How did they announce it to everyone?
Just issued everyone cancelled tickets
