Actually, I would guess that some poolies (or new hires in 2011) will be sent to China if the seats are still open.

My understanding is that the internals were always told they have an option if it ever came to that. If none of them go and they want to fill seats....it's not beyond the scope of possibility that poolies or new hires would go straight to HKG.

There are too many variables to know....if the internals letters are true (starting in January) we only have about 55 days to wait.
