Dell Inc Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell said the computer maker is seeing a slowdown in China, adding to the list of companies dealing with slackening growth in the world's most populous country.

"There are some challenges in China right now," Dell said on Wednesday at a conference in Aspen, Colorado. He and the company's board plan to visit the country in early September. Asked whether sales were slowing there, Dell said, "that would be an accurate statement".

Dell's comments add the Round Rock, Texas-based company to a growing list of technology businesses facing lackluster sales growth in China.
