    In honor of the Chinese New Year (and because I’ve provided a calendar of India holidays for 2006), I thought we should do the same for China. (If you know the holiday schedule for Russia, the Philippines or other common offshoring destinations, I’d appreciate your sending the dates to me at dian (at) sourcingmag.com. We’ll post them and give you a gold star online!)


    This comes from a contact who has worked with a China team, but he’s not located in China. If there are additions, speak up and I’ll modify the schedule.
