India. There must be a good reason other companies are heading there. Low labor cost, many people with computer degrees, etc.

They are selling t-shirts in the UK that say "My job went to India and all I got was this lousy t-shirt".\n\nI don't support outsourcing abroad. If Pizza hut or whoever want to move their call centers to India then they should try selling their pizza's there instead of in the US. See how much money they make then.

I am in the call center business, no company will make it public knowledge they outsource their customer service/tech support call center.  You will need to advertise in trade magazines and hope they call you.  But right now the trend is outsourcing the calls to India.

Since Big Blue changed the way companies view their employees, outsourcing has been an effective way to decrease the cost of doing business. The "bottom-liners" love it. It used to be that payroll, insurance costs, etc were just considered a necessary cost of being in business. After IBM invented the term "downsizing", it seems that companies changed their view of labor costs to be strictly a cost center and lost sight of the effects changes have personally on employees.\n\nDirect answers...Yes. No.\n\nThey have lost sight of ethics in outsourcing. Turning a blind eye to the effect on your employees does not make it any lees real.

Why would they buy overpriced underquality items?\nIsn't that why you import everything from China in the first place?

accountants are still in demand. One of the few professions that have not been farmed out to China or India yet. Engineering is also an option.

Cheap labor and decreased taxation by basing larger percentages of the company in nations with lower taxes.  Also many consulting firms like TATA in India are tied to the government and make it easier for companies to do business in their country when we offshore our jobs there.\n\nWin win for them.  Lose lose for the USA.

I work for a company in the USA . The factory i work in is the last one in the USA. The others have gone to China and Mexico. They only have to pay them around .75 cents, an hour. They pay for shipping. It does take longer to get because of customs. It looks like I need to fine a new skill.Don't look at me i just live here.

Basically it is becuz of the lower cost of production in China (e.g.lower wages), and becuz of the currency. In brief, RMB is comparatively weak to USD and this means other countries enjoy a lower importing price of the goods from China.\n\nChina still produce high quality products. thoze low quality fake goods is usually found within China but not for export. this is due to trade restriction, a country will export goods with higher quality, and consume the  goods with lower quality.\n\nbesides, the labour supply in China is not as sufficient as most of us think and recently facing a labour shortage. it is a misconception in saying the low wage rate is due to abundant supply of labour in China.

china has the largest economy in the world & thus the largest working population followed by India so if china& europe dont take these 2 countries seriously they will land into trouble since also offers products at cheap rates

That is very possible and it has happened to a lot of our clients dealing with suppliers in China. Business ethics is inexistent and you need to watch your back otherwise you will surely get screwed. \nThe client doesn't need to be in direct contact with the supplier. All the deals go through you, and you provide the client address for shipping only at the last time, and you give your own phone number, no email.  On the long term, you may want to have a trusful third party to serve as buffer or use your own company to handle everything and make your offer to the client on a DDP basis.\nIf you need a more professional service or want us to serve as third party you can contact with us it is part of our business ;-). Just provide more details about your case, your country and the city the supplier is located to see if we can help.\nAnyway wish you to have a successful transaction.\nPatrick\nwww.sinotrip.biz

Why are so many things made in China?\n\nManufacturing, especially the mass production of assembly-line goods, is in constant flux.  Companies in every country are looking for the cheapest place to manufacture goods.\nThis trend has accelerated by the pursuit of Free Trade agreements throughout the world.  These agreements create simultaneous reductions in barriers that nations use to protect their native industries.\nThe reduction of tariffs and customs, taxes which are paid on products or raw materials being imported or exported, the goal of trade agreements.  \n"Globalization" is the name of this trend: the constant search for low cost and high quality production regardless of national borders.  Thus, Japanese car makers build some assembly plants in the US, because the raw materials (steel, electronics, tires) are nearby, and the cost of shipping the vehicles to market is very small.  \nMany United States corporations contract to have their products made or assembled abroad because labor costs are much lower than they are in the US.\nChina has profited from this trend because it has an unlimited work force and wages are very low.  So, the production of thousands of products is awarded to Chinese companies.  If you visit any of the low-cost "dollar stores" in this country, you will find that virtually every item is made in China.\nOpponents of globalization argue that this trend is very unhealthy for workers.  By sending business only to the labor market that pays the lowest wages, wages are kept depressed for all other workers.  And, the reason that costs are so low in China is that workers don't have any benefits like vacation, health, or retirement.\nFor now, China has a huge work force willing to work for low compensation, great ports and railroads for the shipment of goods, and local resources of coal and iron for steel making and fuel.

i don't think that any such services have profound impact in the Indian market. You can enquire in your local computer wizard community for details. That will by my best bet.
