Another Win for Chengdu

Another plug for my favorite city in China.  The Wall Street Journal is reporting (sorry, subscription required) that:

“Intel Corp. said Thursday it will move its Shanghai chip-testing and assembly operations to Chengdu, a city in southwestern China, in line with efforts to shutter plants and cut jobs world wide as the chipmaker tries to cope with the global economic slowdown.”

Apparently, the move will displace approximately 2K workers in Shanghai.

I’m telling you, Chengdu is the place to be!

  1. Hi, Dean,

    Very interesting conclusion! Actually I had the same feeling as yours three years ago. That’s when I went to ChengDu to setup our company’s R&D center there. Three years later and now we have a team of 25 R&Ds working on our flagship product and the efforts are paying off nicely!

    Rgrds,

    Yu
