A new slant on "out-sourcing to China"?
A security check on a US company has reportedly revealed one of its staff was outsourcing his work to China.
The software developer, in his 40s, is thought to have spent his workdays surfing the web, watching cat videos on YouTube and browsing Reddit and eBay.
He reportedly paid just a fifth of his six-figure salary to a company based in Shenyang to do his job.
"Authentication was no problem. He physically FedExed his RSA [security] token to China so that the third-party contractor could log-in under his credentials during the workday. It would appear that he was working an average nine-to-five work day,"

If 'they' outsource your job to china, they keep the profit and you get sacked.
If 'you' outsource your job to china, then you keep the profit until 'they' find out, then you get sacked and they grab the profit through the courts.
You may notice the symmetry here.
Better to be the shafter than the shaftee. You only win by taking 'them' out of the equation.
