This sounds like the same tale we heard in the 90's, that software would be offshored to Asia and there would be a handful of people writing specs and overseeing work and not much more.
As the saying goes 'you get what you pay for'.
If you have talented people anywhere in the world, they have either already emmigrated to higher paying markets or are contracting locally at absolutely fair prices in an international market.
The sort of scenario you describe would have been true with information assymetry. However in the connected world of today if you think that someone is talented enough to be an effective asset but naive enough to not know their rate in an international market you are in for a surprise.
