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.'"
Look at how bad the call service for their tech-support is.... what's to say that hardware manufacturing will be any better?
The domestic market for Indian cars is very small and many of the big corporations there import many of their equipment.
Remember that you should stay away from writable dvd/cd media made in India....
Also, India has sweatshops, too, hundreds of them and a lax government crackdown on them....
Previewing comments are for sissies!
The lower castes (classes, whatever) in the US/UK etc have much the same to say.
What happens when all that China has left, is China?
That's not likely to happen. But let's say it does. Then all we will do is to target our complaints to whichever third-world country picking up the businesses of making cheap crap products on cheap labors while at the same time polluting the environment. Those who think these are caused by the particular politics or government in China are just naive and have not really visited a third-world country.
Also those businesses are not going to move back to the developed world, not until we make ourself third0world country by allowing people flooding in from Mexico and other third countries.
