Dorine, thanks for your clarification. Here's something from today's WSJ about declining PC sales in China. Probably won't affect Dell's increasing market share unless the theft of nuclear missile technology becomes a political stump... March 10, 1999 Computer-Sales Growth Slowed in China in 1998 Dow Jones Newswires BEIJING -- Sales of computers in China increased 13.9% in 1998, but the growth slowed substantially from 1997 levels due to disappointing institutional sales and weak consumer demand, state-run media reported Wednesday. Analysts Expect Record Growth In the Asian-Pacific PC Market (Feb. 11) A total of 148 billion yuan ($17.88 billion) worth of computers were sold in China last year. In 1997, however, computer sales soared 41.3%, according to the China Daily newspaper. Until 1998, computer sales in the communist country increased more than 40% each year since 1994, the newspaper said, citing figures provided by the Ministry of Information Industry's Center of Computer & Microelectronics Industry Development. The research center said institutional sales declined mainly because of a slower growth in sales to state-owned enterprise and government restructuring. Sales of personal computers rose 16.6% in 1998 from 1997, the report said. Sales of domestic PC brands surged 42.8%, but sales of foreign PC brands fell for the first time, the report said. Computer imports fell 39.2% in 1998.
