Think you meant to post this in the funny thread.
Good work Comrade LiuSynopsis
Mike Liu, the author of the book titled 'The Rise of Indian IT', said unlike the Indian firms, who still have a sway in the global markets, especially in IT outsourcing, China's software revenue is mostly from home. Over 95 per cent of China's IT earnings come from the domestic Chinese market, he said.
Should be noted that the colonization of America and its gradual ascension to become the world's most powerful country is one of history's biggest accidents.China missed the opportunity to colonize the Americas. She will not miss the opportunity to colonize the moon.
Well, let us all help that Tomothy Brummer, whoever that is, brush up his "Hokkien" quickly.
The situation calls for it, it seems.
For their part, the Chinese companies need to learn many things such as mindset, management systems and governance, he said, adding that an abundant supply of human resources in IT was key for India's success.
Chinese firms like Huawei, Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent made a big leap in technology development, while the Indian IT sector is broadly confined to software outsourcing, spending little on innovation and R&D, he said.
He said the Indian IT phenomenon is not made possible through either deregulated efforts or government subsidies and policies but due to the strong conviction by the Indian tech leaders and software engineers to make a difference.
Indian code monkeys write codes for foreigners because there is no demand for their services within India.They're mixing apples and oranges. Chinese programmers beat Indians who hardly make the top ranks in programming competitions. Indians are only translating machine language into English and it's not because they're good. It's because they're cheap. Of course Chinese earnings come from the domestic market because who else is going to write it for Chinese? Where's the Indian app that is the rage of the world like TikTok? Where's Indian 5G? Where's Indian 6G? You hear nothing. So when they say "IT" as in internet technology, it's a whole world in itself and just translating machine language into English doesn't register as worthy of getting any attention except that without the cheap translators of Indian, the English speaking computer world will cost English speakers more to use it. I see nothing from India so excuse me if I'm not in awe.
India is far ahead in cheap IT jobs - outsource, call centers, etc. On all other fronts - AI, quality IT products, etc. - they are far behind. The biggest IT Indian companies are just outsource centers and they have nothing comparable to Tencent, Bytedance, Alibaba, etc.
The good ones get poached by foreign firms, whilst the 'stayers' are generally terrible. Most are likely looking to get out anyway, and a contract with a foreign firm (with the possibility of getting poached) is the best ticket around.Indian code monkeys write codes for foreigners because there is no demand for their services within India.
