Dell computers might shift production from China to India
China may pay a price for its heavy handed tactics. Frankly, I’m surprised that India hasn’t already pulled way ahead of China. India offers a legal environment that is familiar to Western multi-national corporations.
According to the Indian Financial Chronicle, Dell told prime minister Manmohan Singh as much in person, with Singh revealing details of the meeting after speaking to the country’s planning commission about spurring the “development of hardware and parts of the computer industry”.
“This morning I met the chairman of Dell Corporation,” Singh reportedly told the commission. “He informed me that it is buying equipment and parts worth $25 billion from China. It would like to shift to [a] safer environment with [a] climate conducive to enterprise, with [the] security of [a] legal system.”
