Was reading a post at the Think Flat blog, on China, India and IT Outsourcing, here is an excerpt from it:

Infosys recently polled 237 IT and business professionals. The survey asked "Do you think China will overtake India as the next hub for IT outsourcing services by 2020?"

Results
35%: Yes
14%: Maybe
50%: No
(the usual disclaimer about rounded numbers not adding up to 100% applies)

There is more to building expertise in a field than throwing $$s and people at it.

And that i was reminded of this article in Infoworld titled "Finding talent a challenge for China tech firms"

Technology industry employers face a number of problems finding good workers in China, including the spoiled, "Little Emperor," attitude among young people in many parts of the country, a by-product of the government's one-child policy.

"The attitude is 'me, me, me, me... and now,'" said Cyrill Eltschinger, chief executive officer of Beijing-based Information Technology United (I.T. United), a software development outsourcing firm. Eltschinger referred to the attitude of many entry-level employees, who, unlike some of their Western counterparts, couldn't care less about non-salary benefits like retirement packages.

Business ethics have also become a major hiring concern, with everything from theft of intellectual property all the way up to more enterprising workers forming their own companies based around their employer's infrastructure.

When one candidate requested a salary four times more than his previous position, Eltschinger asked why he felt he deserved such an increase. "Because you're a foreign company. You should pay more," was the reply.
