Hi Rob, I worked in Dalian for a number of years as a project manager for a small Chinese outsourcing software company (5000 people). You are spot on with quite a few of the remarks, it's pretty vital for you to be in direct contact with the offshore team lead at all times. Communicating via IM is pointless, with the language barrier there is so much which can be miscommunicated, it's tough enough in our native language.
Agile approaches are rarely implemented within the major Chinese software corporations, quite a few borrow heavily from CMMI.
