The US manufacturing deficiency isn’t going to change, but I do believe the bottom will eventually fall out for any country that can’t build anything.

IBM's operations in China are small compared with those in India. It currently has a services staff of 7,000 in China and more than 40,000 employees on the subcontinent. But IBM sees big growth in China. "We'll continue to make strategic investments in both countries," Cherian says. "The scale of the operations in each will be determined by customer demand."

The problems with American manufacturing are self inflicted. This is the legacy of 75 years of government policies including over taxing, over regulating, encouraging consumption, discouraging saving, and misallocating assets. It is idiotic to blame the Indians and Chinese for our own policies.
