SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics will end Chinese personal computer production as it looks to shift production to Vietnam to cut costs and remain competitive in the PC business.

The plant in the city of Suzhou will close as soon as this month and convert part of the facility into a research and development center. Samsung informed employees of the factory stoppage and job cuts at the end of July.

The South Korean tech group looks to shift production to an existing factory in Vietnam. A spokesman said the decision to shut the Chinese plant was based on the need to find a cost advantage.


Samsung Electronics Suzhou Computer, the unit that runs the Chinese plant, was established in 2002 as a PC assembly center. The computers made at the factory were sold mainly in South Korea, North America and China.

At its peak, Suzhou Computer employed 6,500 people, South Korean media say. The headcount has since shrunk to 1,700.

Global PC shipments inched up 0.6% last year to 261.23 million units, research firm Gartner said. China's Lenovo Group holds the top share at 24.1%, while U.S. rival HP ranks second at 22.2%.

Samsung's share appears to be in the single digits, below that of U.S. rivals Dell and Apple as well as Taiwan's Acer and Asus.

In general-use PCs built with common parts, market share is directly linked to earnings. Japanese makers have left the business as top players dominate the market. Samsung will continue to make PCs, but the company will cut labor and other costs by relocating production.

Samsung once operated three smartphone factories in China, but the group shut down all Chinese production at the end of 2019. The capacity has been transferred to Samsung's Vietnamese facilities or delegated to contract manufacturers.

There might be bigger washing machines soon.
:rofl::rofl: LOL,its too stupid to reach 10,000usd GDP per capital when CN still have hundred millions employee who willing to work for just 300-400usd per month... But those jobless no longer exist in CN due to living cost is 750-800usd per month now.

CN simply dont know what to.do,what will happen when having No help from daddy US like in 1979 :lol:

Then plz dont hide inside the washing machines, trying to work in VN Luxshare wt just 430 usd per month ,tks :cool:

Then we just have to wait and see if this will materialize or not. Mekong nations like Laos and Cambodia will be fierce competitors in these low wage categories once the HSR is completed.
Low wages edge won't last forever esp. the China domestic market is beginning to be bigger than US.
Example. China domestic telecommunications market is bigger than the entire world combined today.
By then the only option is for you to make a decision to turn your foxhole into permanent dwelling.

It's news to me. Samsung makes PC? Since when? Never heard of this in North America. Maybe they make PC for Southeast Asia?
You can buy Samsung PCs, Tablets here in the EU.
About R&D, I don’t understand why Samsung keeps R&D in China. It makes no sense at all. R&D should be there where the markets are. Samsung has no market in China.
Samsung can move to the new R&D center in Vietnam.

Half of Laotian r Vnese and half blooded Vnese. Kaysone phomvihane ,the one showing on Laos currency note is Vnese.

PM Hun Sen of Camb is set on the throne by VN since 1979, Camb military-police forces r controlled by Vnese.

So, we dont have any problem if Laos-Camb bros wanna compete with us :cool:

Putting R&D in Vietnam is like putting R&D in Congo. Laborers getting high like @Viva_Viet can't do research.

Our GDP per capital is just 2800usd/years, so no surprise when some Vnese try to work illegally in UK "weed farms"

But CN GDP per capital is 10,000, u guys should not do the same,should not risk ur lives in the washing machines or frozen containers like VN :lol:

Unless Vietnam are still dwelling in its expansionist and wild Greater Indochina elusive dream like unrequited sick lovebird, I don't think neither Laotian nor Cambodian feel that way.
Yes. The descendents of the vanished Kingdom of Kampa, the Khmer Kron of the South Vietnam may feel connected to Khmer Rouge Pol Pot but North Vietnamese???
Sorry. i am not buying it.

Off topic but a indochinese Union is the way to go for the region. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma. Not if but when.
