PC growth in China. No discussion of PC-karaoke, uh, I mean, PC-DVD or PC-VCD........ techweb.cmp.com << China's PC market growth is a large plum that U.S. PC vendors would rather not lose. Chinese government statistics show that China's PC sales over the past two years have grown 40 percent a year. Government officials here consider those rates highly sustainable. Room for growth is certainly there. Officials at the Ministry of Electronic Industry (MEI) said that even in the most-developed parts of China, home-PC purchases are only a fraction of what they are in Japan or the United States. In Beijing and Shanghai, only six out of every 100 families own PCs, compared with 20 in Japan and 38 in the United States. Home-PC sales are important because they now make up the majority market segment for PCs in China. MEI statistics show that, in the past two years, 61 percent of PCs nationwide were bought by home users.>>
