India is where it is at


It seems
that Google is not the only outfit moving out of China. Tinman Michael Dell is considering packing his bags and moving to somewhere cheaper.

All this rumour comes from none other than India’s Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh. Singh told the Indian press that Dell chairman Michael Dell assured him that Dell was moving $25 billion in factories from China to India.

Dell has reportedly said that they were leaving China in search of a “safer environment with [a] climate conducive to enterprise.” Singh added that Dell would shift $25 billion in parts and equipment to India, also said that Michael Dell was looking for a country “with security of a legal system.”

Google, who shut down most of their Chinese operations this week after concerns over censorship as well as a security incident between China and Google. It is possible that Dell is worried that it is facing cyber-attacks from China.

It is starting to look like foreign outfits are getting fed up with working in China. Dell currently has one factory in India. Michael Dell previously said publicly that “India is a great place to be in” and that “It is growing faster than China for us.” However, Dell still maintains it's not planning to leave China.
