Maybe authors can't be outsourced to China, but editors have been outsourced to India.
I was reading a book by a major publisher awhile back and could not believe it was touched by an editor. The word "had" was used on every page probably 50-100 times, often two to three times in each sentence. These publishers make even hardcover books so cheap they break at the spine. <expletive> if they could outsource authors they certainly would. These authors ought to think about that next time they are cheering these big publishers on.
