In the context of the Sino-US game, in recent years, there has been no shortage of American companies that have left the Chinese market, and even Apple has carried out "diversification" with the heart of a villain, moving part of its production lines to India, just to prevent China from taking countermeasures.
In the face of such a behavior of the United States, Chinese consumers have also given an attitude, and now Dell, which has left China, has finally spoken, and decoupling from China has ushered in a "backlash"!Foreign media have commented: Why did you go earlier!
As we all know, after the Russia-Ukraine issue, a number of American giants, including Starbucks, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Dell, HP, Apple, etc., have withdrawn from Russian borders to prevent unnecessary losses.
After this phenomenon appeared, the Russian side quickly started to take countermeasures, not only canceling the concept of patent authorization in Western countries, but also proposing fines, sales bans and other measures to the Apple brand.
On the cusp of this kind of storm, Dell and HP, the world's two leading PC manufacturers, are also shouting the slogan of "decoupling" in the Chinese market and have become the vanguard of "de-China".
According to the industry, in Dell's "playbook" of de-Chinaization, it will leave China in stages in 2025, 2026 and 2027, with the ultimate goal of completely getting rid of the demand for Chinese manufacturing.
Interestingly, it was only a long time before Dell, which kept saying that it was going to leave China, couldn't help it, not only announced the data of the continuous ** shipments, but also showed goodwill to the Chinese market.
According to the data, Dell's shipment share in the Chinese market fell by 45% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, and the second quarter ushered in even worse news, with the shipment share falling by 52%.
As the brand that once ranked second in the world's PC shipments, it now occupies only 8% of the Chinese market, surpassed by Huawei with a 9% share.
You must know that the Kirin 9000S chip and the breakthrough of domestic chips have not yet been announced in the second quarter of 2023, and Huawei's original popularity alone can surpass its ranking, which is obviously not the result that Dell wants to see.
After all, after Huawei's acquisition of the Mate 60 series is a big hit, both in terms of popularity and capital background, and its strength in the PC field is obviously also ushering in an advantage, it is difficult to guarantee that the HiSilicon team will not invest in the research and development of PC chips in the future.
Not only that, China's PC companies Loongson Zhongke and Moore Threads have also released the latest CPU and GPU products, thanks to the strategic deployment of "de-beautification", Dell will obviously be more unnoticed by consumers, and may one day be reduced to "others".
As a result, Dell began to show favor to the Chinese market, and at the "25th anniversary celebration" held not long ago, Wu Dongmei, vice president of the company, announced:Leaving the Chinese market is a rumor, but Dell has not clarified it.
He also emphasized: "The Chinese market has always been one of Dell's very important markets, and it has never forgotten its commitment to users, and will never leave China, hoping to continue to develop in the mainland." ”
I don't know if you have noticed, this scene is familiar, and after Apple's relocation to India was frustrated, Cook's two visits to China this year are exactly the same, both of which are saying that they will not leave China!
But what about the facts?Apple has been continuing to promote the deployment of the relocation production line, and the Biden team has been continuously suppressing China's technological development, which shows that Dell's rhetoric is just a gesture of goodwill before the dust settles.
Regardless of whether Dell really never thought of leaving China, and whether or not it will unswervingly stay on the mainland in the future, we should get rid of the "dependence" on American products as much as possible!So what do you think about this?Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
