Creating Software != Producing T-shirts
It takes dramatically more skill to create software than it takes to create t-shirts and socks. China will not be able to harness their limitless supply of unskilled labor to this task.

As it stands, China is less attractive than India as an offshoring location. India has a tradition of using English in school and business. This is why Indians say they are "native" English speakers, even though their accents make them unintelligible. China does not have this advantage.
