I'm not so sure. Rates from the Indian SIs for senior developers have risen to the $60-80 range lately. Not that people get paid that of course, but they're probably paid around $30-40/hour. China remains less expensive, but I doubt for long. Rates usually rise across a region over time. Sure, I can still find small developer collectives in Bangalore or Hyderabad selling Java coders at $15/hour ... But thats the lower end of junior developers.
