From a geo-political perspective, India is a friend of the US. Modi is the Dondald Trump of India and a friend. It is the Modi fans in the US that Donald Trump needs.
Mainland China is just the opposite. No friend, not likelihood of friendship with the government, the communist party, or in government contolled industry.
India can be compared to the US in exactly the same way that my former Illinois can be compared to my current Georgia. I am a immigrant, a yankee who invaded Georgia, as are thousands of us from Rust Belt Cities.
State Farm (my former client) is shifting thousands of jobs (IT and insurance) from Illinois to Georgia and thousands of jobs from Illinois to Texas... and I don’t know how many to Arizona. A big loss for a Blue state and a big gain for Red States.
Modi is far closer to Trump in ideology, in sympathy, in practical alliance than the politicians in Illinois.
To shift the topic slightly: Where are these American IT workers? They arn’t in Blue Illinois... anymore. They aren’t (enough) in booming Georgia. Where are they?
Were are the IT workers? I think the IT HR firewalls have and are screening out many qualified candidates...Yes, it is easy to apply for dozens of jobs daily with Indeed, Glassdoor, etc. However, due to the global numbers of resumes coming in to HR, they set the screens very high.
I have received personal Freepmail from IT Freepers, one in particular I remember who told me they gave up after 7 years of trying during Obama’s reign...
If you read the Breitbart article the US graduates far more STEM students than are being placed...They cannot all be unqualified...If you do a Breitbart search, you can see all the articles related to displaced US workers...
So do I take their reporting or your observation?
I guess the US is the red state equivalent in your example...And like GA, who likely does not like Liberals moving down from Chicago, US does not like foreign workers moving in taking US jobs or stealing US technology from offshore...
Unlike Georgia, the US does not have to allow this...Our government is choosing to allow it...And I understand Trump wants a good working relationship with Modi, but I don’t believe that US IT workers should have to pay the price....
Their new complex in Tempe, AZ is gigantic - I think over 6,000 people. Tell Pritzker we got his missing tax revenues right here. :)
