Comments on the impact of the tsunami on the IT industry: IT factories should move to China

Although there are more and more IT companies to move their factories to the Chinese, but there are still many large multinational enterprises in IT industry, many enterprises, especially Japan and South Korea, will still be many factories in Southeast Asia and South asia. A strong earthquake and tsunami in December 26th is a painful disaster for the local people, but for those companies, the disaster may be a warning to them.

A lot of people talking about the China of IT manufacturing migration attraction, have focused on preferential policies, the global biggest market potential and high quality, and the salary is not high talent, in fact we have ignored the safety of natural geographical environment Chinese. As everyone knows, in addition to the current stronghold Chinese global IT manufacturing industry -- including the Silicon Valley in the western United States, Japan, Southeast Asia and South Asia are at the junction of crustal plates, while the sea, traffic is convenient, but the destructive force of strong earthquake and tsunami may occur at any time. In order to ensure stable supply of global IT products, the world's important IT factories should move to china.

People believe that the earthquake in Losangeles, although not what people have experienced, but the subject's film is not only a look and see it; I remember two years ago the Silicon Valley near the earthquake, almost makes Mr Gates the heart of the world's most expensive smart brain bags are ceiling smashed, really people scared of the Japanese earthquake; several times a year is watching TV in the Japanese homely food, reported slightly on drilling to the wind sways grass under the desk looks like, how pitiful; Southeast Asia volcano eruptions and earthquakes have also been continuously, believe that only the discovery channel and National Geographic expedition of scientists interested in there. IT enterprise policy makers, think about it -- is it a little too risky to set up a IT factory that makes sophisticated products in some places?

Go back to the Chinese, in addition to Taiwan province and a few outlying provinces, the most concentrated population, and the biggest talent market demand and manufacturing capacity among the areas such as Shanghai, Suzhou and other industrial manufacturing center is located in the Yangtze River Delta, electronics manufacturing capacity of strong Guangzhou Shenzhen Dongguan is located in the Pearl River Delta, although they are in accordance with the river waterfront, with Southeast Asia the same convenience in traffic, but they are not in trouble of frequent earthquakes and other natural disasters like this, just a few years, these areas can attract many multinational companies to set up factories IT, set up R & D center in Taiwan Province, to attract IT manufacturers will move manufacturing factories, these are the biggest affirmation of their geographical advantage the.

In addition to the two "delta", Chinese and widely distributed in North China, Northeast China, central China, has a large number of skilled workers, southwest transportation or convenient export one old industrial city, manufacturing and consumption are yet to be developed, international IT giants look over it, China domestic market demand is enough to make them earned a pours.

In addition to rarely occur in large-scale natural disasters, Chinese geographical traffic advantage is the one and only, Chinese is the world center of the country. No, aircraft, train, car to get to Europe and Africa, sitting across the ship "belt" wide water will be able to fly to the United States than in Japan, many in India Chinese, in the production of IT products to the outside of Japan two major consumer markets of Europe, America almost the distance, this position Chinese geography is suitable when the global IT manufacturing center.

The world's IT companies are moving to China, it is best to move the headquarters, but also the people who do not have to move faster, do not wait until the next flooding, shaking the ground when the time to think of china.
