The world's third largest producer of electronics China is already the world's third largest producer of electronics， and becoming a player in the global appliance market. Twenty years ago， U.S.， European and Japanese companies started moving into China to supply the local market with household goods. Now those same companies are getting whipped by Chinese competitors. Over te past six years， the market share of foreign TV makers in China has dropped from 70 percent to less than 20 percent. Matsushita opened the first microwave-oven plant in China in 1995. Two years later the Chinese company Galanz started making microwaves and selling them for half Matsushita's price. Chinese companies now make more than 43 million TVs yearly. Konka， one of China's largest TV makers， sells its branded TVs in the United States， and has set up factories in Mexico to service the American market； While TCL， another major TV maker， exported 11 million units from its Chinese factories last year. It has more Southeast Asian factories than any other Chinese company. （164 words） 中国已经是世界第三大电器生产国，并且正在成为全球电器市场上的主角。20年前，美国、欧洲和日本公司开始进入中国，向当地市场提供了家用电器。如今这些公司却被中国竞争对手搞得焦头烂额。在过去六年中，外国电视生产厂家在中国市场上所占的份额已经从70％下降到不足20％。松下公司1995年在中国开办第一家生产微波炉的工厂。两年之后，中国格兰仕公司开始生产微波炉，其销售价格仅为松下微波炉的一半。 中国公司现在每年可以生产4300多万台电视机。深圳康佳电子（集团）股份有限公司是中国生产电视机的最大厂家之一，其产品已经远销美国，并且在墨西哥建立了几家工厂，以便向美国市场提供产品。TCL是中国又一家生产电视机的大型公司。去年，它出口了1100万台电视机。它在东南亚设立的工厂要比中国内地的还要多。（完） |
