OK, filter my remark with the following. At first, they were not so good and there were some do as little as possibles in the crowd. Over time a culling process improved them but as you wrote, their best work was when they came to the US which decreased the savings in replacing Americans with them. I moved to a joint venture project with the Chinese and people from India moved off my radar for years. Before I retired, we lost an engineer who was doing a lot of work with people from India, and I was assigned some of it. The ones I had visibility to were doing alright but there was demand for validation at every step.

"Since the company didn't do much testing they didn't know that his back end was going to fall flat on its face as soon as they prepared for release." Since my work was about safety of flight and air worthiness for commercial aircraft, rigor was extreme. A great deal of time spent on documentation and review. We were less likely to have ugly surprises although there were ugly revelations during the course of programs that led to terminations and rework, but not whole projects tossed into a dumpster.
