- MorningCoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Good job Yang. Now follow Bill's lead and build China's largest charitable foundation and you may have a chance to go down in history as Bill Gates of China. Otherwise, you're just a CEO of a big tech company in China, big deal!
- darksofa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment."
-Chairman Yang
“Essays on Mind and Matter” - sputnike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I don't know if this makes him the Bill Gates of china, but I guess it's still a pretty big story. If anyone has seen "Pirates of Silicon Valley" you will know what I am talking about :)
- gherikill, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I would never buy a Lenovo. Tehre will be no innovation now that it is run by a Chinese company. They will just copy everyone else
- mattmaison, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When he's the richest man in the world you can compare him to Bill Gates. For now, he's just an ambitious computer salesman selling IBMs.
- OrcaCSS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Only one Chairman Yang comes to mind... ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier's_Alpha_Centauri#Human_Hive - ShrimpCrackers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Uhhh you just named a bunch of Taiwanese companies. In addition Xinhua, one of China's state owned newspapers said that the top export companies in China were all Taiwanese owned.
Even Quanta, the guys that build your Apple laptops are Taiwanese. Nvidia's CEO is founded by a Taiwanese guy. NewEgg is owned by a Taiwanese citizen as well. - Maceart, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1mustnsurfatwork:
Foxconn, ECS elitegroup are all Taiwanese companies... don't group them with mainland China companies. - rookworm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"he has a chance to help his homeland shed its image as a cheap manufacturing hub."
... And replace it with the human hive. - musntSurfatWork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2There are many many many 'Bill Gates' in China, that manufacture most, if not all of the PC products in use today. Foxconn, ECS elitegroup, etc.
China > the rest of the world in manufacturing. - ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"The Red Dragon awakens." /Klaus, American Dad

Utter rubbish, Lenovo had already been making thinkpads for IBM for a very very long time before IBM sold them the rights to use the thinkpad name and pulled out of the market. - Leo2002, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I got your point. But Bill Gates would be a bigger figure to me if his company was inherently doing good to the society.
There is a big difference between
1. earning money first using whatever methods and donating some of them later on
2. running a company doing good from the beginning - drlha, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3"Now, as China's first truly global capitalist, he has a chance to help his homeland shed its image as a cheap manufacturing hub."
It might have helped if they had torn the Thinkpad's build quality, reliability and design ethic to pieces. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i just created an asian version of bill gates with the online face transformer. here it is

- msipes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It makes him nothing. Lenovo isn't making money. IBM sold off their pc division for a reason. Dell, HP, and Apple are kicking the crap out of them.
- Jawoodyablowme, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1No, it makes him the Birr Glates of China!
Want some flied lice with that?
Up next, Chinese chicks do it sideways!
