AFP: Chinese Premier Wen sees ‘Asian century’ for IT industry

From AFP, via the Philippine Daily Inquirer:

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao on Sunday began a tour of India’s hi-tech capital and called for closer cooperation to launch the “Asian century” of information technology.

India’s software skills combined with China’s dominance in hardware can trigger a tectonic shift in the global technological landscape, Wen said at the offices of Tata Consultancy Services, the country’s biggest provider of software development and outsourcing services.

“Cooperation is just like two pagodas. One hardware and one software. Combined we can take the leadership position in the world,” Wen told reporters.
