The Government of China and its partner bodies have initiated
several programs across schools, colleges and even in offices
to equip people with English language skills so that the
country can become capable of servicing the business processing
needs of the English speaking West, which incidentally imports
almost 88% of the total BPO services globally produced.
Indeed, it is thinking long term as well and that is why
the government-promoted Institute of Sozhou Software,
