Dell Leaving China In Search Of "Safer Environments" In India
Dell's said to be joining Google in fleeing China in search of a "safer environment with [a] climate conducive to enterprise," potentially taking the $25 billion it spends on equipment and parts in China to India.
The Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, was quoted in the Hindustan Times as saying he'd just met with Dell's chairman, who would like to move all of their set-up to a country "with security of legal system." They've currently got one factory in India already.
Chairman Michael Dell has previously stated that the "Indian operations are doing well...India is a great place to be in. It is growing faster than China for us."
Very cool -- I do a lot of metalworking and the small machine tools I buy are generally imported. I much prefer the Indian imports to the Chinese ones. Big difference in quality and finish. Taiwanese tools are the best but India is a very close second. $25 billion is no chump change.
