Dell denies China pullout

Dell had already said at a conference in New Delhi that his company would not be embroiled in Google's move to shut down its mainland Chinese operation and stressed the importance of the Chinese market to Dell's growth. Photo:Xinhua

Dell Thursday denied claims by the Indian prime minister that the world's third-largest PC maker is considering shifting its operation from China to India.

According to the Hindustan Times, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said after his meeting with Dell Chief Executive Michael Dell, "This morning I met the chairman of Dell Corporation. He informed me that they are buying equipment and parts worth $25 billion from China. They would like to shift to a safer environment with a climate conducive to enterprise with security of legal system."

Dell met Singh on Tuesday during his visit to India to seek further growth in the region. He left India the same day.

Dell's operations in India currently employ 23,000 people, one-fourth of the company's total global staff, and generate $3.9 billion for the computer giant.

Most of its production targets the Indian domestic market and it has now begun shipping some production to the Middle East.

According to the report, Indian media suggested that tax breaks Dell enjoys in India make it cost-effective for the company to supply the Middle East, Africa and Europe out of India, rather than out of China.

The report came after Google stopped censoring its search service in the Chinese mainland on Tuesday and redirected Chinese users to its uncensored site in Hong Kong.

Dell had already said at a conference in New Delhi that his company would not be embroiled in Google's move to shut down its mainland Chinese operation and stressed the importance of the Chinese market to Dell's growth.

Dell China made no comment to a Global Times' inquiry for confirmation Thursday.

Bloomberg Thursday quoted a Dell spokeswoman, Minari Shah, as saying, "There was no discussion concerning any change in how or from where Dell will source component parts for the computers it manufactures in Asia."

India's Press Information Bureau removed a copy of Singh's official speeches from its website after Dell contacted the office, according to Bloomberg.

A Dell insider who declined to give his name told the Global Times that it is unlikely for Dell to move its entire operation from China to India.

"Dell may take cost into account when locating its assembly line worldwide. But given the huge Chinese market and thriving business here, it is impossible for the company to withdraw from China," he said.

Dell has 8,000 employees in China, its second-largest market, with a design center in Shanghai, and a manufacturing and distribution center in Xiamen.

Dell's sales in China grew 81 percent in the last quarter thanks to the government incentives to boost domestic consumption, and are expected to generate almost $5 billion in revenue.

The company will spend $25 billion this year sourcing parts from Chinese suppliers, according to Michael Dell.

The insider said manufacturing outsourcing has become a trend for many PC makers, and it has become less important as to where the assembly lines will go – it could be anywhere in the world.

Meanwhile, GoDaddy, the world's largest domain-name registration company, told US lawmakers Wednesday that it would stop registering new domain names in China following the introduction of new policies by the Chinese government, the Britain-based Telegraph reported Thursday.

In December, China's Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) announced a stricter registration procedure for .cn domains, requiring applicants to submit their business licenses and photo IDs to authorities in China.

The new policy, taking effect from December 14, was meant to prevent the inappropriate use of ".cn" domains for spreading pornography or by criminals and fraudsters to pay with stolen credit cards, according to CNNIC. But the move was interpreted by some as a policy to enforce new Internet restrictions.

"Our experience has been that China is focused on using the Internet to monitor and control the legitimate activities of its citizens, rather than penalizing those who commit Internet-related crimes," Christine Jones, executive vice president of GoDaddy, said at a congressional hearing on Wednesday.

GoDaddy said that, among its 1,200 customers with ".cn" Web addresses it has requested for documentation, only about 20 percent have provided the documentation.

The move has won applause from US politicians.

Chris Smith, a Republican congressman from New Jersey, extolled the move as following Google's call "to defend the rights of the Chinese people," according to the Telegraph.

Network Solutions LLC, another US company offering similar domain-registration services, also said Wednesday that they already stopped registering new ".cn" domains in December.

An employee with one of China's leading providers of domain-name registration, xinnet.com, who refused to give her name, told the Global Times that the procedure for ".cn" domain registration is lengthy, which is likely to have a negative impact on clients.

But she said the procedure was helpful to crack down on sites spreading improper content like pornography or engaging in fraud.

Hu Yanping, director of the Data Center of China Internet (DCCI), told the Global Times that the GoDaddy company's mission is to help users register international domains and the .cn domain, but that the company's pulling out of China would not have much impact on the Chinese Internet market.

"There are a lot of sources of and agents for domain registrations," he explained, adding the company's move is nothing but a politicization of the Internet, which will eventually harm the development of the Internet.

As media reports speculate that GoDaddy and Google's move may prompt more foreign companies to leave China, the Chinese government assured that Google's decision was an "exceptional case" that wouldn't hurt Beijing's stance to encourage more foreign investment in China.

"We welcome foreign investors to grasp the huge business opportunities in China's economic development … and benefit each other," Zhong Shan, China's Vice Commerce Minister, said during his visit to Washington Wednesday.

Network Solutions, GoDaddy cease registering Web sites in China


By Ellen Nakashima and Cecilia Kang
Thursday, March 25, 2010; 3:48 PM

Two major Internet domain name registration companies have ceased registering Web sites in China in response to intrusive new government rules that require applicants to provide extensive personal data, including photographs of themselves.

GoDaddy.com, the world's largest domain name registration company, and Network Solutions, based in Herndon, objected to policies that were imposed by China in December.

The rules, Go Daddy said, are an effort by China to increase monitoring and surveillance of Web site content and could put individuals who register their sites with the firm at risk. The company also said the rules will have a "chilling effect" on new domain name registrations.

The decisions come amid a showdown between China and Google, which recently announced it will no longer censor search results on its site in the country. Analysts and human rights advocates have warned that China's insistence on censorship and control over information is becoming a serious barrier to trade.

Go Daddy announced its decision at a congressional hearing on Wednesday.

"Go Daddy and Google deserve more than praise for doing the right thing in China -- they deserve our government's support," said Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.), who has sponsored a bill that would prevent U.S. companies from sharing personal user information with "Internet-restricting" countries.

In December, China began to enforce a new policy that required any registrant of a new .cn domain name to provide a color, head-and-shoulders photograph and other business identification, including a Chinese business registration number and physical, signed registration forms. That data was to be forwarded to the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), a quasi-governmental agency. Most domain name registries require only a name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.

"We were immediately concerned about the motives behind the increased level of registrant verification being required," Christine N. Jones, general counsel of the Go Daddy Group, told the Congressional-Executive Commission on China. "The intent of the procedures appeared, to us, to be based on a desire by the Chinese authorities to exercise increased control over the subject matter of domain name registrations by Chinese nationals."

Go Daddy has been registering domain names since 2000 and has more than 40 million domain names under management.

Jones said China was the first government to retroactively seek additional verification and documentation of registrants.

Jones also said Go Daddy customers with Chinese domain names have recently been attacked more frequently than in the past. The sites targeted tend to be those "deemed not appropriate" by Beijing -- sites that contain content about the Tiananmen Square uprising or human rights, for instance.

"When our sites get shut down in China, we are never told why . . . and it's impossible to know why," Jones said.

The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.

Network Solutions said it stopped taking new accounts in China last December, according to spokeswoman Susan Wade.

"Of course the decision affects our businesses, but it also didn't make business sense to operate under their change of procedures," she said.

Arvind Ganesan, business and human rights director at Human Rights Watch, said China's new rules are yet another example of the country tightening its censorship policies and undermining the ability of U.S. companies to operate freely.

"The underlying intent is if you're engaging in political speech, we want to know who's engaging in it and what Web site is behind it," Ganesan said. "This is a way the Chinese government can send a chilling message to people that they shouldn't speak freely online. It's forcing us companies to be both the censor and the spy on behalf of the Chinese government."

Jones said Go Daddy's decision to stop registering new domains was unrelated to Google's recent decision.

"With all due respect, this has nothing to do with Google," she said. She added that the company had been deliberating what it would do about its business in China before Google's announcement.

"We decided we didn't want to be agents of China," she said.

At Wednesday's hearing, Alan Davidson, Google's director of public policy, said governments worldwide should develop new rules to combat unfair trade barriers online and should make Internet freedom part of the criteria for receiving development aid. He noted that the number of governments that routinely censor the Internet has grown from a handful in 2002 to more than 40 today.

Even the largest match maker is far concret and better. Domain name registration sucks! So you just repeately claimed that this one is the largest sucker then?

[ It is sick how the Govt. of China can ask for all the personal details and even photographs of people who register domains.

Without it, Bin Laden and alikes can register the whatever country domain names they fancy, such as www.OsamaBinLaden.cn? You obviously suggest that www.OsamaBinLaden.in os ok - It is you who are sick.

Google is pulling out from China? Absolutely not. they moved their office from Beijing to Hongkong to evade china's laws. These cunning businessmen are still running their Google China service. Nothing has changed.

Hope they could chose their balls over money as they proclaim. Google is a whore who claims virginity .
