The real China

DarwinSuzsoft is a CEO which has six offices in China, each with its own expertise and access to a different labor pool in that country. The office in Suzhou province, employs about 800 people and has access to 150,000 computer science graduates annually in Suzhou province . To get a glance of what china really is, the government recently completed a two-year project that built a million housing units. Darwin says "if the wage rate for a standard software developer in India is a fourth of what it is in the States, a Chinese developer gets about an eighth. So, if the U.S. rate is $100 per hour, it is $25 per hour in India and $11 per hour in China. For a Java developer in China, the hourly rate is $7 to $9. For BPO (business process outsourcing), where a minimal level of education is required and the job is basically data capture and data entry, the rate is $2 to $3 per hour. In IT software and services, Chinese companies are hoping to allay enterprise fears about IP (intellectual property) protection by bidding on complete IT solutions and services that include the software, the service. This way they can not only provide themselves with a larger revenue stream but they can ensure that parts of their business will remain viable in the event that other parts are found to be using unauthorized technology."
