India Vs China - Part II

Well, I spoke too soon.

Here is an article that appears today in Rediff that demystifies the long believed *facts*, if I might call them that, and explains that:

China isn't cheap. Experienced engineers are hard to find and can be up to
25 per cent more expensive than in India. Bilingual professionals command a
premium.

Attrition rates are high. Chinese software professionals often turn
entrepreneurs after a couple of years, stealing valuable clients.

[...]

You could get bogged down by a complicated legal structure, problems of
repatriation, varied laws in different provinces, and opaque infrastructure
pricing.

Many software companies are still wary of China's track record of
intellectual property rights protection, although Beijing is cracking down on
offenders with tougher laws.


Like I said, Interesting times ahead.
