I work in Hong Kong with both Chinese and Indians, and the way it works there is that it's like everywhere, not everyone wants to be a developer and those who want don't always know what's happening around them. The difference is they're the first generation to have some sort of access to wealth, and would rather die than be honest and find a little job in a coffee shop since there are no jobs in coffee shop that would pay near the same. So you end up with tons of guys who cannot work in software, who cost nothing like us in salary term but produce near nothing. The ones who survive are either unashamed to ask millions of questions (fair enough after all), who have the political acumen to always walk between the raindrops and manage to fail projects without looking like the culprits or are genuinely good and move asap... to Hong Kong or Singapore, sometimes Tokyo if invaluable. These would never stay underpaid for doing the same job as me, they're not stupid, them.
