We should consider this type of outsourcing in context.

These investments are such peanuts compared to how much these giants invest in their R&D and their overall business.

The issue of transferring jobs overseas is a red herring because these type of R&D jobs are anyway held by immigrants to the US.

When you consider how much capital investment is made by foreign countries in the US (Honda, Toyota, etc....), these investments outside US are further dwarfed.

If it builds them up as an ally... good.

Today nobody's job is safe because they're now big on outsourcing even local services overseas. A friend of mine recently called her local Internet provider for help with setting up her email. After a few minutes they transferred her to a technician in INDIA. It's all about putting cheap labor for business before the interests of the American people. Cheap labor is a nice thing to have, but so is a job.
