The real question that all the John Kerrys at Pat Buchanons want to tapdance around these days is as follows. Why do business conditions in the US suck so badly that our corporations are willing to risk having their business conditions literally changed overnight just so they can escape the US?

They really are not thinking all that far ahead - it has been a herd mentality for the most part. A lot of this is "MBAitis." The outsourcers, the big consulting houses and key industry groups (eg Wall St.) are pushing to make this a core practice and corporate management in the broader economy , as always, grasps at the latest "trend." We will see what happens. I doubt that this business in Indian markets is a lasting trend and look for it to be back to where it was in a fortnight. Not much more than an overreaction if you ask me. If there is a real implosion in China, however, one with real, sustained and painful financial and internal political aftershocks then the practice will receive much more scrutiny. We shall see.
