Chinese Co. Lenovo to Outsource Manufacturing to Taiwan

Consider the irony in this move. Lenovo, a Chinese company, buys IBM’s personal computer division in December of ‘04 to make it the world’s #3 computer maker behind Dell and HP, and #1 in China. They have the cheapest labor base in the world and presumably will take advantage of that to lower their costs and attempt to gain market share. Makes sense.
But with Lenovo’s laptop market share slipping to the likes of Acer, they have decided to outsource manufacturing of their ThinkPad line to a Taiwanese company. Rumor has it that the Taiwanese company will then further outsource to US suppliers – just kidding!
