Owing to the under-development of both hardware and software engineeting in china, the local servet supporting service is so poor that when machines break down it is few days later brfore the engineets comt. The tachnical know'how of the local engineets is also poor;gbl has assigned the technical experts in hong kong or other asian regions to work in china. Howevet,some local staff have also been trained to do some routine network administration work. Further to the gradual reformation of the financial sector in china,gbl can goresee that information technology will become a major subject in the universities and more expettise will be available.
