"By the end of this year a fifth of all computers in the world will be
manufactured in Chengdu, the ancient Sichuan capital of western China.
The great leap forward has come with lightning speed, and spans the gamut of
hi-tech industry. The three state-telecom giants -- China Mobile, China

Intel has since shifted the bulk of its operations from Shanghai, which already has Californian wage costs in pivotal sectors. It now produces half the global supply of laptop chips from its Chengdu operations.
The big names of the computer industry have followed in a sudden migration. Dell and the China's Lenovo came in 2011. Foxconn has cranked up operations from nothing to 80,000 workers in barely two years. Last month it built 80pc of Apple's worldwide output of iPads at eight cavernous galleys outside the city.
