One of the questions being asked in the four corners of the outsourcing world is this Will China rule the future of outsourcing?

The answer is yet to be determined as there are still a lot of Asian players that are indeed doing well in as far as growth and progress in terms of acquiring outsourcing jobs is concerned. Two of the countries that provide competition to China include India and the Philippines. Without a doubt, these countries have already established their competence and credibility in the world of outsourcing.

Now, what makes China a potential candidate? First and

foremost, it has a large labor supply pool like what India has. In addition, companies who have setup Asian headquarters can avail of China s bilingual population. Most people can speak both Japanese and Chinese, particularly in key cities such as Shanghai. Aside from this, people in China are known to be hardworking and very much dedicated in any line of work. They produce quality work just like any other nationality, provided that proper training is given.

How about China s disadvantage? One is that most Chinese people do not have good English language capabilities. Second is lack of project management expertise, which is very much critical in today business world.

Salary-wise, this is not much of an issue. Research shows that though programmer costs in China is about 10 to 15% lower compared to India, supervisory staff, project managers and other staff positions is about 25% higher. This simply mean one thing, outsourcing in China is indeed very feasible. But then again, India and the Philippines will still be included in the picture.
