PC Market really recovers very briskly - but this, unfortunately, can not be said about the server market. It is understandable: personalki - consumer product, and servers - infrastructure. Infrastructure is always updated slower consumer segment. According to IDC, in 2010 server market (for money) will grow by 2.4%. In general, analysts ascertain the demand for cheaper system standard architecture, and predicted market recovery in the coming years.

But the market will rise slowly: in the period from 2009 to 2014 the average annual revenue growth will be only 0.3%, while the volume of supply - 4.9%. Indicator pre-crisis 2007 ($19 billion) market will not be soon.

President of the Chinese company, Liu, Martin said that the deal with DST needs Tencent, "to benefit from the rapidly growing Internet market in Russia". In turn, DST will be able to use the technical and business expertise Tencent to strengthen its leading position in Russia.

Independent Russian experts believe that the decision Tencent enter into the shareholders DST influenced the recent deal to acquire Mail.ru manufacturer online games Astrum Online Entertainment. Tencent earns the big money in online games in China. In Russia, this market is growing rapidly and has enormous potential.

I must say that even in 2008, the U.S. government, Germany, France and some other developed countries have not emphasized is quietly searching for ways of how to restrict Chinese investment in their economies. Reason is simple: fast wealthy Podnebesnya hands of their businesses literally "on top" is buying the European and American manufacturing, paying particular attention to is the sphere of high technologies. That is modern China is not only earns sewing T-shirts "Guchi" and sneakers "Addidass", but quickly takes control of global IT, biotechnology, telecommunications, energy technologies, etc.

And the money for total purchase of such assets the Chinese have.

For reference: a program to stimulate the economy valued at $585 billion was accepted by the Chinese government to combat the effects of the economic crisis. Since the State has tried to soften the effect of a sharp fall in export volumes. However, despite this decline, by the end of 2009, China became the largest exporter in the world, overtaking Germany. In the 1 quarter of 2010 China increased its exports by 29%.

Now on economic terms, China has ranked third in the world after USA and Japan. But this year the Chinese economy can bypass the Japanese. According to the results of 2009, Japan's GDP totaled $5.1 trillion, while China's GDP - $4.9 trillion.
