Guangzhou (China), November 29: Sharon is at her desk when an order arrives by e-mail from a client of Norwegian shipping firm Torvald Klaveness Group (TKG).



She opens a file in her computer, types the order into a form, then submits it and sits back to await the next order.

The scene could be taking place in an office in Norway, but Sharon's last name is Fung and her office is in downtown Guangzhou, the capital of south China's Guangdong province.

"Sometimes it can be a little tedious," admits Fung, who has worked on the account for 2 years. "But there's no big difference between (doing the work in ) China and Norway."
