Da!, Here is the chart from the U.S. Department of State titled 09/30/2000 Computer Internet Service in China


Top Vendors in China's PC Market

VENDOR SHIPMENTS SHARE%99 SHIPMENTS SHARE%98 GROWTH
Legend 382,843 17.2% 219,601 11.8% 74.3%
IBM 149,504 6.7% 122,263 6.6% 22.3%
HP 128,330 5.8% 104,657 5.6% 22.6%
Founder 114,487 5.1% 66,054 3.6% 73.3%
Compaq 67,067 3.0% 106,583 5.7% -37.1%
Others 1,382,467 62.1% 1,240,582 66.7% 11.4%
All 2,224,698 100.0% 1,859,740 100.0% 19.6%

My point was not to debate the accuracy of math used to generate the above report but to point out that U.S.Companies are currently competing successfully in distribution and sales of PCs in spite of Tarriffs that are imposed by China's government on Foreign imports of PCs.

CBQI is not the "first mover" some may believe. If IBM can compete in the Chinese Mainland, it can compete with a price war in the U.S.
