(COMTEX) B: CBQ Confirms Plans to Import Computers from China Products t B: CBQ Confirms Plans to Import Computers from China Products to Include Personal Computers, Notebook Computers, and Handheld Devices SHENZHEN and BEIJING, China, Aug 16, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CBQ, Inc. (OTCBB:CBQI) confirmed today its plans to import personal computers, notebook computers, and Internet enabled handheld devices from China into the U.S. marketplace. To date Chinese companies have generally not sold finished computers into the U.S. market but have instead sold motherboards and limited numbers of components such as monitors. CBQ executives, including Bart S. Fisher, Chairman and CEO of CBQ, Dr. Wei Sun, President Easysoft International, met in Shenzhen, China, and Beijing, China, during the past two weeks with two of China's five leading computer manufacturers to discuss the import deals. "The prospect of importing computers from China is very exciting and will mark a sea change in the Information Technology hardware field," said Bart S. Fisher, Chairman and CEO of CBQ, Inc. "We fully expect China's computers to be of the highest quality and very price competitive in the U.S. marketplace -- about 40% below comparable U.S. prices in some lines -- and we intend to be a leading distributor of the Chinese products in the U.S. market through our Networkland affiliate. The extension of CBQ's China presence from software to hardware is a logical development for the company, and will greatly deepen CBQ's involvement in China as it enters the World Trade Organization and deepens its commercial involvement with the United States."
