Thanks for sharing. I think this is very helpful in improving the stereotype of Asian countries. We've also been collaborating with dev members from India and Vietnam. There are members below expectations, but the general team structure and their language ability are not a problem at all for moving the projects forward.

You make some good points, Jose, and I mostly agree. I've led and worked on remote global teams for over 20 years, and I worked in Shanghai for 3 months. At one point, I ran a research project examining use of technology in global software development collaborations. One experience was that meeting people in person once, at the start of a project, was very helpful in jump-starting the collaboration work. After that, fully remote work was effective. I also ran lots of successful software and AI research projects with people worldwide that I never did meet in person. That can work, too. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
