Don't underestimate the ingenuity of the Indians and the Chinese. They can set up training facilities very, very quickly. Especially China. They will throw government money at opportunities and make it happen like yesterday.
Why would they do that?? Take a look at Mexico... That country's second largest "industry" is money being sent home from workers in the USA. Also, the base country can tax the income of their expatriates at a very high level... much more than what they would collect if their people stay at home.
Gotta love the global economy.
