Re: A fine plan

They need more than cheap labor, they need cheap educated labor.

At the same price, yes.

But they will always take cheaper labour in preference to slightly more expensive skills. This is driven by the belief set of Western management that their own skills couldn't possibly be found somewhere else cheaper, but all lesser beings in the business are mere commodities, and skill, education and experience can be substituted by rigorous processes that any low cost numpty can be told to follow.
