hubsnswitches Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 The biggest Intel Factory/Plant outside U.S. now is in China. Wow! Is this true?I know for a fact that Intel has a factory in China, but is it really bigger than the one here in our country? From what I know, Intel has 29 hectare lot in Gateway Business Park in Cavite. One building alone has almost a 6 hectare floor area, the other two has a combined floor area of roughly 5 hectare.The Filipinos at Intel used to composed about 10% of the total population of Intel employees worldwide...but then again that was in the late 90's...

I know we are still hiring. Quote Link to comment

heavygatin_but_cutie Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Been awhile since I visited this thread...oh well..just came back from Shanghai, China last June 12 after being there for 1 month. let me reply to some of the previous posts... Wow! Is this true?I know for a fact that Intel has a factory in China, but is it really bigger than the one here in our country? From what I know, Intel has 29 hectare lot in Gateway Business Park in Cavite.

In terms of floor area..kung pagsasamahin ang lahat ng planta sa China...eh it will emerge to be the biggest and currently i believe the company's expansion is in China. China and Phils are considered as one of the major plants for Intel. Another plant was opened in China couple of years back in Chengdu and I believe another one will emerge very soon. China is an emerging market like India. Labor is cheaper than Philippines. Philippines is loosing foreign investment due to overhead expenses and stability of the government. In China naman, development is soo fast, government is really pushing for the Go Western strategy that is why most of the big foreign investors are moving to China. If you'll ask me..is it bigger...yes..it is bigger than that of the Philippines and still growing. I like to work in China but the problem is the low rate salary there .. coz everybody knows the law of supply and demand ... most of my chinese counterpart receives only around $300 per month ... but if there will be an offer .. then why not ...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same here. I would love to work in China and currently looking for opportunities. Low salary...hmm it depends. Currently, China has a great need for ENGLISH teachers. You can already get a good salary by teaching English. There is a big demand on English tutor or teachers. There are some things na alot expensive than the ones here in the Philippines...but overall ok lang. Nagmamahal lang when you start converting from RMB or Yuan to Peso. 1 RMB = 7.9 or 8 pesos. In shopping things...when you buy in bulk or volume..good buy talaga. If ever I'll have the opportunity to work and live in China, I would choose to be in Shanghai, Beijing or SuZhou. Other provinces are not that good pa. Yun nga lang..with the progress of China...the gap between the rich and poor is getting bigger...like with dito sa Phils. In Shanghai, everything is accessible. Yun nga lang..some cant really communicate in English. You need to have somebody write the name of your destination to and from in Chinese characters. pero ok pa rin. Their metro or subway is very efficient. and guess what?? Shanghai now has the fastest commuter train. they call it MAGLEV. I had the chance to take it on my way to Pudong Airport...grabe..the normal 1 hr taxi travel from Pudong to the Airport was cut to 7 mins. The maximum speed was 430km/hr. Imagine! grabe!!!! and more to come daw in the next coming years specially now that they are preparing for the OLYMPICs. problem ko lang recently during my last travel last week...pollution is sooo low especially after raining. smog talaga to the max sa Shanghai. bad for those people with asthma. i had a hard time breathing sa labas ng hotel. in terms of them being bastos..let me put it this way. talagang for people living outside China..they will view them as bastos or people with no etiquette or manners. talagang manunulak sila...dumadahak...pero i think culture nila yun. not that they want to hurt you sa pagtulak nila..pero i think cultura nila yun. walang excuse excuse me. ...

heavygatin_but_cutie Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 ey guys ask ko lang if u happen to know wer's the best hotel to stay in if mag watch ako ng f1 shanghai GP thanks hi slow.... it depends on where it is located in Shanghai. Where is the track located? Pudong or Puxi? How much is your budget for the hotel? What do you plan to do aside from watching F1? PM me so I can help you decide on the hotel. Quote Link to comment
boy_tusok Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 i would like to learn to speak chinese but i dont know which one to study and what are the differences between like mandarin, cantonese, and putonghua. any help thanks! Quote Link to comment
n0rb Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 i would like to learn to speak chinese but i dont know which one to study and what are the differences between like mandarin, cantonese, and putonghua. any help thanks! If you're planning to study language, I suggest going to Beijing. It's not quite as exciting as Shanghai but the cost of living there is alot lower than in Shanghai. There's also a growing nightlife there in Beijing, and surprisingly if you go to the right bars you can make alot of foreign aquaintances. Some bars cater to mostly the foreign crowd, but they may be a bit more expensive. Anyway about your question, basically Mandarin and putonhua are one and the same. You see, Manadarin is the name for the one of the chinese dialects. Much like Catonese, which the dialect of the people living in Guangtong province and most of HK, or Fuchien which is the dialect of the people living in the Fuchien province and the local speak of the Filipino-chinese. Putonghua is not a dialect, but directly translates as "the common-language" or the national language of china which is mandarin. Hope this helps, albiet a bit lenghty :mtc: Quote Link to comment
