Dell To Leave China For India

halfEvilTech writes "India's Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, told the Indian press that Dell chairman Michael Dell assured him that Dell was moving $25 billion in factories from China to India. Original motives were cited for environmental concerns. But later details come up as to Dell wanting a 'safer environment conductive to enterprise.'"

  2. Conductive? by ShadowRangerRIT · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sure that wasn't "conducive"? I know Dell is an electronics manufacturer, but the company itself is likely non-conductive in the first place.

    This is not true. Few of the chips are made in China. Circuit boards are likely to be made in Taiwan.

    You may not realize this, but Taiwan is part of China.

    LOL, lower castes? In which century are you in? Of course I am not claiming everyone in India receives the same opportunities and rights. The rich can always maneuver themselves out of courts/police, keep themselves safe from murderers, have their children well educated, get their children and themselves jobs. But it happens in every country, not just India.
