PC manufacturers from Asia - Japan by Sony (SNE - news - people) and Acer in Taiwan and China ASUSTeK of Lenovo and Haier - are already sold or have indicated that they will sell computers in line with the government program that was much scrapped in July - 1 implementation date. Western computer makers Dell and Hewlett Packard, has been delayed as they wait to see whether Beijing will renounce the plan to silence, which has increased among consumers and sulphate Chinese internet users and business groups.
With China planning to have all new computers come with multi-rubbed Green Mali dam Internet filtering software now backburner, computer to compete for the Chinese market is divided into two groups. On the one hand, companies that were quick to comply, and other companies that are not specified computer software. This may affect the computer makers' image among consumers in China.
Since the popular reaction may have something as a negative impact on Chinese consumers' perception of Lenovo and other brands, in accordance with the desire or knowledge of the program was suspended, he said Frank, an analyst for the Hong Kong Research BOCI. He added however that the revenue impact, if any, that Lenovo will be soft.
"The Chinese public companies, this value will be treated as adults and give them to adults choice and control over their lives. In the longer term, these products will gain customer loyalty," Rebecca Mackinnon, Chinese internet specialist, writes in his diary Rconversation. "Practices that demonstrate respect for consumers and user interests and rights, in spite of the difficult regulatory environment, companies will be better in the long run. Wrapping-and-play-dead policy is a way to build the brand in China or another place, "she claimed.
For Sony, which are shipped with pre-installed software, computers with filtering, a decline in PC sales in China will have "substantial" impact on the Japanese electronics giant because of its market share is relatively small, said David Gibson, analyst in Tokyo - for Macquarie.
If the Chinese government then revived mandate that all computers sold in China will be equipped with "green barrier" Internet filtering software, any PC people most likely to act in accordance with the need to keep doing business in China. The software, which is in Beijing argued against pornography for this purpose has been criticized for promoting censorship, so that potential breaches of security and privacy as well as submission of technical problems with the operating software and other computer parts.
Such a policy may encourage more Chinese Internet user population, the largest in the world, returning to the "do-it-yourself" computers whose components are purchased and collected private mode with no registration, said Frank.
