Three Years See China to Rank World Top Three in PC Market: Microsoft President (May 14) chinaproducts.com In the PC market, Asia is the world fastest growing region yet recent years have seen a rapid development made in China, making it the world forth or fifth place, said Mr. Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft Corp., May 10 at the Fortune Global Forum 2001 in Hong Kong. According to him, China is estimated to rise to the world top three in this market in the coming three years. Ballmer also praised Hong Kong's new copyright rules issued on April 1, 2001. In his opinion, the reform of software must be fully backed by local laws and Hong Kong has done a great deal on this. And such countries and regions in Asia as the mainland of China, Japan, the ROK, China's Hong Kong SAR, and Singapore, will flourish rapidly in the development of science and technology. He also pointed out that there is a revolution in the conception of science and technology every a few years. The abnormal hot economy a year ago should be attributed to mass misunderstanding that the new sci-tech can fully replace the old one. He believed, only by expanding the sci-tech market can it really make our life more convenient but don't worry that it will replace the human beings. (Peopledaily) China Leads PC Sales in Asia-Pacific (May 9) chinaproducts.com Sales of personal computers in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, rose 14.4 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier to 4.7 million units, led by sales in China, according to latest data released by U.S.-based market-research firm Gartner. Asia-Pacific personal-computer sales are traditionally slower in the first quarter, but the decline from the fourth quarter of 2000 was a slight 0.1 percent, as strong sales growth in China offset declines elsewhere in the region, Gartner said. It said 1.9 million personal computers were sold in China in the first quarter, up 38 percent from a year earlier. (Xinhua)
