Chinese Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan said Friday that the consumer
electronics industry brought tangible material and cultural
benefits to Chinese people.
Zeng made the remarks in a congratulatory letter to the 2007
China International Consumer Electronics Show (SINOCES) which
kicked off at the Qingdao International Convention Center on
Friday.
The vice premier said the rapid development of China's consumer
electronics industry has speeded up the spread of information and
brought revolutionary changes to people's lives.
He said the country has become an important manufacturer and
consumer of electronics products and called for further efforts in
the sector.
Zeng said the annual SINOCES is a good platform for Chinese
companies to communicate and cooperate with overseas
counterparts.
The theme of this year's SINOCES is "Connecting Anything". The
products on show include home cinema systems, portable office
appliances, mobile communication equipments and auto electronic
products.
During the event, the US and Chinese trade associations will
have symposiums on energy, consumption, mobile storage applications
and intellectual property rights.
According to its website, SINOCES -- started in 2005 -- was
certified by the US Department of Commerce last year as the only
consumer electronics show in China that is recommended and promoted
by the US government to American companies.
