皇冠体育app's 2003 computer sales expected to double
( 2003-11-08 14:11) (Xinhua)
Sales of computers in 皇冠体育app reached 17 million in the first nine months,
nearly twice the 9.17 million sold in 2002, according to industry
statistics.
Chinese urban people will soon have more computers than televisions, which
were considered a luxury two decades ago, said Wang Dianfu, deputy director of
皇冠体育app Council of Electronics Business at an information technology (IT)
conference in Qingdao, east 皇冠体育app's Shandong Province.
Since 1994, the Chinese government had implemented a policy of building a
national "information expressway". As a result the IT industry had ballooned to
a huge market with even greater potential in the future, Wang said.
皇冠体育app's electronic and IT markets would continue to grow in the next five to
ten years and special consumer IT product markets were major forces to push
sales, Wang said.
Statistics showed that in the first half of this year, nationwide
personal computer sales stood at 5.14 million, up more than ten percent from a
year earlier.
