This article seems more like simply "don't be a fucking idiot".
And judging china, India, etc. is unfair. I once worked with a guy in Toronto, Canada, maybe 4 hours away from my home in New York. He ended up stealing $3,000 from me and there was nothing I could do.
So "don't outsource" isn't necessarily a good message in my opinion. A better one would be "try to avoid working with random people you've never met or heard anything about".
How often do you have the privilege of actually knowing (and knowing well enough) who you're working with? I think the biggest lesson for me is don't do business with companies based in a lawless country.
