No need to hold back. My being in China is not confidential. ;-)
And no, I'm not involved in outsourcing.
I'm doing primarily skills transfer for IBM China Employees servicing
IBM China customers. Just like American customers take issue when their
contacts don't speak their language, Chinese customers do the same.
Growing an international company outside of their American home base is
very different from outsourcing.
No future or current job at IBM in Toronto, Lenexa, Portland, Santa
Teresa, Menlo Park, ... is threatend. I sleep well :-)

That I'm also visiting big Asian ISVs who are porting/migrating from
Oracle may cause others to sleep less well, of course. ;-)

Cheers
Serge
