I'd rather see the Chinese do the software instead. Because Indians (many of whom sincerely think Indian programmers are the best in the world) are nowhere to be found on the list of winners, year after year. Russia and China pretty much dominate everything. Say what you will, but this is very telling about the quality of education.
I was once denied entry in one of those because the teacher was an American who selected all 4 American students for the contest... even though I was way better at programming than any of them.
