A considerable number of the doctorate degree candidates attending American universities are Chinese and Indian students. This is particularly true in engineering, and the sciences.
BS here in Computer Science from a college of Engineering.
Both Chinese and Indians are becoming more prominent in IT.
They are not the back office guys you throw the crap to anymore; they are leading projects and holding seminars and writing articles.
And they all speak proficient English..maybe a grammatical error here and there but English nevertheless.
I see the writing on the wall. I had a good run..20+ years in programming. Saved a boatload and now will take early retirement and retrain for some part time work that is less prone to offshoring. I do love programming though so a new world opens up with Linux and OpenSource community.
One thing about China- they think outside the box in a big way when it comes to solving problems like pollution and congestion. I really don't know how the new mega bus will deal with bridges, power lines and other such things but at least they are thinking. Meanwhile in the USA, we are.....????

In the US, our "leaders" just talk and blame the other party for the problems. Talk on one thing and do just the opposite.
A example of what they do no0t face is the american legal system. As a example i the 60's MIT and LSU came up wioth a pln to put floodgates that would protect new Orleans canals where the levies broke aginst rising water. The plan was approved under johson and advancing in the congress. A environmental group filed for and got a injunction because it wouls they said endanger a specires of Minnow.Politicsw being what it is on environmant with dmepocratic party the plan was dropped. It likely would have prevent the Katrina flooding by not allowing the pressure of rising water on the leviues. Courts can be a good thing and also a bad thing in our system.
Lack of incubation money. R&D needs lots of money..not every idea pans out so there is more lost some years than gained.
R&D offshored can make better use of limited funds. PhD's cost less and can work on more projects. Corporations get a better bang for their buck and can fund more projects with more people than they could using the same money here. Just a fact of life.
Money does indeed make the world go round.
Which is why the some of the most ground-breaking and socially beneficial scientific and technological breakthroughs were the direct results of the FEDERAL Government, either directly or through various institutions (like the military, grants to Universities, NASA, etc.)

It's easy enough to switch the locale and type with native output.
You just need to be good at touch typing.
Like this:
yes i know that,but what i meant was that the lettering on each key is english.you would think chinese keyboards would have their own alphabet on the keys? but i asked,and saw only english on the keys . that means that whoever uses the keyboard in china must remember which english letter transcribes to the chinese language. how does that work when the chinese alphabet is much longer?
i also found out that engine motorbikes are forbidden in the chinese cities. so motorbikes with battery power were VERY popular , and in the northern cities these had big gloves fitted permanently onto the handlebars,to keep hands warm. another thing i found out is that old cars are forbidden on the roads there.
Or letter Q. China learned in the 80's (from guess who) that privatizing and free markets unleash and economic powerhouse. If you have over a billion people that were extremely impoverished then you can only go up, after a long drawn out bout with a tyrannical communist dictator.
Still communist but with a new market-based twist.
