Yeah, a lot of the constraints around software services are a function of market size and legal changes. It's intensely profitable to have a large market with the same regulation, and one would imagine that software professionals would be paid a lot in such a place.

And interestingly enough, in both China and the US, software professionals make a lot of money.

Yeah.

US also benefitted from being isolated from any threats by huge bodies of water, having a ton of cheap land, speaking english and being welcoming to immigrants. Thanks to this the whole global economy is tied to the dollar and runs through wall street.
