China to Develop Ten Software Outsourcing Base Cities
December 15, 2006
The Chinese government aims to overtake India in the international software outsourcing market by developing 10 base cities as key outsourcing centers. China's MOC (Ministry of Commerce) has approved a development plan accordingly and singled out Shanghai, Dalian, Xian, Shenzhen, and Chengdu as the first batch of outsourcing service bases. The MOC aims to attract 100 multinationals' outsourcing orders and cultivate 1,000 indigenous outsourcing service providers, thereby increasing China's outsourcing exports fourfold by 2010.
