Razdray on world financial markets, rising oil prices, falling dollar, recession in the United States ... No, not all of this is determined by the current state of the global IT industry. Today it is determined by China's industrial policy. And now you are in it for yourself.To begin with, the Chinese authorities have submitted a state programme support production of microchips. They promised a discount of 15% from sales tax of any company engaged in the production of semiconductors and invested in the Chinese economy over 8 billion yuan ($ 1.14 billion). In addition, the company can claim privilege, in the production of chips using 0.25 - micron (250 nm) technological process. This criterion includes most modern producers of processors, which are now producing chips on 45 - and 65 nanometer - nanometer technological process.
In the case of long-term (15 years) investment in modern production company chips, once it becomes profitable, be exempt from taxes for five years. In the period from the sixth to the tenth year, it will receive a 50% discount from sales tax. It is expected that the new facilities will benefit Hua Hong NEC, as well as Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation and Semiconductor Manufacturing International, is actively extending production.
This measure has caused the Chinese authorities certainly no longer a heart attack in South-East Asia. So far, the main producers of semiconductors in the world were companies located in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. Now, China and grossly peretyagivaet just a blanket.
But that's not all. China may prevent Microsoft swallow company Yahoo. The reason is - a new anti-monopoly law, which takes effect in China on 1 August. He gives the Chinese regulatory authorities to monitor the transaction, in which investors in the Chinese economy. A Yahoo in 2005, has invested billions of dollars in search engine Alibaba.com - the largest enterprise in China in the field of e-commerce. Yahoo now 40% owned by a Chinese company. It turns out that in case the deal between Microsoft and Yahoo, they will buy their own shares, that malorealno from a financial point of view. Even if the Chinese authorities will give permission for the transaction, its long antitrust investigation of the circumstances significantly reduce the value of the two companies. By the way, the potential transaction Microsoft and Yahoo affect laws in a number of countries, because both companies have foreign troops.

Most respondents did not represent his life without Apple products, and the question, "Which of you would brand itself proassotsiirovali", the majority answered with Apple. "
The majority of those surveyed also believe that the national brand, "the United States" and Trademark rebranding require Microsoft - Microsoft has become too boring and predictable, but at the United States claim to be an American before it was prestigious, as it caused envy of the rest of the world.

Earlier Wolfson Microelectronics chips were removed from the player iPod Shuffle and S lassic. However, the rejection of installing chips in the British iPod would not affect the supply of components Wolfson Microelectronics for the iPhone. Actions Apple looks amazing, given that the company Wolfson Microelectronics has been a constant supplier audiochipov for most iPod models, starting with the first player, having withdrawn in 2001.
