Dell saves taxes on imports and has a product made in China by Chinese workers which should be appealing. IMO the new factory in Brazil could be important for the same reasons, saving the ~150% import duty on assembled computers the time involved in customs, and to have a product made by local workers. <<<<<Xiamen city is one of China's first four Special Economic Zones, and has been granted the right to manage its own economic affairs while offering preferential investment policies to foreign enterprises.>>>>> chinavista.com chinavista.com A <<California-based IT research firm, Computer Economics Inc., projects that by 2005, China will have the second largest population of Internet users, with 37.3 million, next to the United States, with 126.6 million.
