I think if you go back and read the press release again, I believe the explanation is there. While this will result in a capacity expansion it is also very much a local applications development facility/resource for the Chinese market.

Historically, QMC has focused on manufacturing, it's been their point of emphasis. A number of years back I spoke to an industry player who questioned that (manufacturing) focus versus developing applications. I'm sure QMC will argue that they were doing both (via sampling) however a quick comparison of the R&D staffs back then compared to the other QD players would quickly reveal a low number of bodies on our team. It may or may not be the reason our sales forecasts have been missed a few times. Now it is being addressed.

The bottom line is that this company is expanding and adding applications development resources in close proximity to a market. Regardless of our impatience for sales, it would be hard not to see it as a positive step.
