schestowitz[TR2]I suspect this decision was a long time coming. IBM and China have had a 30 year relationship that has weathered the political ups and downs over those 30 years. The four major tipping points most likely have beenSep 02 22:46
schestowitz[TR2]    China’s inward focus on “buying Chinese products” which greatly disadvantages foreign suppliersSep 02 22:46
schestowitz[TR2]    India’s cost advantage, as Chinese labor has doubled vs Indias labor over the last 10 years.Sep 02 22:46
schestowitz[TR2]    Chinas treatment of IP vs India’s. China has a state view of IP whereas India has an private (trademark) view of IPSep 02 22:46
schestowitz[TR2]    China’s declining IBM revenue profile (see number 1 above) vs India’s continued increasing revenue profile. In general, Companies invest where revenue is increasing. When revenue stalls, so does employment. When revenue declines so does employment.Sep 02 22:46

schestowitz[TR2]Not only this but someone pointed out elsewhere in the comments ( @vhw) that it takes as many as 6 Indian Engineers to do the work of 4 in the US. Where is the efficiency in all this ? It's all about a corrupt Indian CEO running IBM and his bloated Indian bureaucracy who get the most holidays and turn out the least work output.Sep 02 22:46
schestowitz[TR2]It's about making a profit for the IBM company at the end of the day, not sitting back in arrogance to bring your countrymen into the company and provide them with H1B visas to the US on some pretext or the other. If you have to push a lot of them out to streamline the business, then you need to do so. The needs of the business demand efficiency. The IBM CFO needs to be held accountable for failing to do the job he was put into plaSep 02 22:46
schestowitz[TR2]ce to do, as his focus is clearly elsewhere, not on generating results for shareholders.Sep 02 22:46
