China-made submarine optic fiber cable exported to European, American marke

[Jun]

SHANGHAI, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- A leading Chinese photoelectric cable manufacturer has exported its submarine optic fiber cables to the United States and Italy, the first time for this China-made hi-tech product to enter the European and American markets.

The total length of the submarine optic fiber cables in the world has exceeded 1 million km since the first such cable was laid in 1985, but production of the hi-tech equipment has long been dominated by a few businesses in France, the United States and Japan, said Xue Jiping, board chairman of the Shanghai-headquartered Zhongtian Technology Group.

"We have invested hundreds of millions of yuan over the past five years in solving many technical issues put forth by our international clients in the production of submarine optic fiber cables," he said. (1 U.S. dollar equals 6.32 yuan.)

The company's cables were sold to a telephone company in Alaska and an offshore oil platform project in Italy, he said.

The total length of the exported cables reached more than 230 km with a value of more than 40 million U.S. dollars, he added.

I dont think this export will add more in china's export revenue. These cables are too expensive, Every country is owning only a small part in SEA-ME-WE 3 & 4(they are the two longest Submarine cables).

Anyway,this is a very complex technology the same cable has to carry the power for the Repeaters which is located inside the sea. Any small mishap can shunt Fault and result in a cable failure, they will have standby paths but can't avoid high latency in all the circuits in a entire country.

This is good for china, but they will have only one or two customers in a country. In US, verizon is the Major player. They already have share in the cables(Trans Atlantic) for US to UK and US to China(the Trans-Pacific cable).

You can say it small start.

Really in telecom field China will be major player in globe with in 5 years

Even in India after 2many bans huawei is the only choice for Indian companies for DWDM technology.

Already SEA-ME-WE3 was deployed in 2000 which is almost covering the entire globe. Now SEA-ME-WE4 deployment is almost at the end of completion. After that there will be no need for such cables.

I am working in this field for more than 2years, so i have a bit of experience in that.

Because of sanctions, China was forced to concentrate resources on the most strategic and basic fields: agriculture, scientific hardware, telecom, energy and arms.

And that's why we had hybrid rice, supercomputers, Huawei, a whole bunch of solar/nuclear/coal/oil/finance companies, and the J-20.

China's Haval H5 SUV from Great Wall Motors automobile manufacturer

China's car sales set to race ahead | Stuff.co.nz

"China's car sales set to race ahead
by Hamish Rutherford
14/01/2012

MARKET MOVER: Matthew Foot, of Brendan Foot Motors, is predicting strong sales for vehicles such as the Great Wall Motors. (Credit: EMMA ALLEN/FAIRFAX NZ)

Mathew Foot, dealer principal at Brendon Foot Motors in Lower Hutt, quickly breaks into a sales pitch for his latest brand, Great Wall.

The Chinese-made truck will be sold "brand new, petrol, 2.4 litre, leather trim, all the gears, for 25 grand," about $5000 less than the strikingly similar looking 2008 Holden Colorado with 30,000 kilometres on the clock.

"The guy who's going to look at this is the guy who has got a construction or a roading company, wants to put his guys in that, but doesn't want to spend $40,000 on a Hilux," said Foot, whose father began selling cars in 1973.

The dealership recently expanded, taking over space used by a former Honda dealer to accommodate both Great Wall and fellow Chinese brand Chery, which manufactures a range of small cars. Next year he expects to begin selling Chinese-made vans, believing small-business owners will be attracted by the cheaper up-front cost, with the same rate of depreciation available as more expensive Japanese models.

New Chinese cars will undercut Japanese vehicles by at least $10,000, although Foot knows that as the brands build credibility, they will compete with used cars, still undercutting many on price.

"The economy is tight, people are looking for value for money," Foot said. "New Zealanders are not brand snobs."

Demand, it appears, already exists. On the basis of two full-page newspaper advertisements for the trucks placed earlier this year, the dealership was selling a dozen utilities a month even before the franchise properly launched.

He is not alone. Ateco, the company responsible for importing everything from Fiat to Ferrari into New Zealand, now has 11 Great Wall dealerships.

The company, which also imports the vehicles into Australia, sold 10,000 Great Wall vehicles in its first 18 months operating across the Tasman and believes the next 10,000 would be sold in a year.

Sales are slowly building here, too. In October, 46 Great Wall trucks were sold, putting the brand in the top-10 biggest sellers of small commercial vehicles for the first time.

Having been an early dealer of Kia, the smaller of the major Korean car brands, Foot knows well how new regions can build in credibility, but believes the Chinese can do so faster.

"We see a big future with it. The Japanese took 25 years to establish a motor business and the Koreans took 10. We think the Chinese will do it in four or five."

China's car market is already massive. In 2009 it surpassed the United States to become the world's largest manufacturer, and in 2010 a combined 17 million was the largest annual production from a single country in history.

The industry believes Chinese car companies will inevitably become major players over time, though to what extent and over what period there is disagreement.

Clive Matthew-Wilson, New Zealand editor for the Dog & Lemon Guide, said the quality of cars currently coming out of China was variable, but this would improve markedly as the industry matured. As the Chinese domestic market became more saturated, manufacturers would be forced to expand quickly around the world to maintain growth.

"In about two years the Chinese will flood the world with cheap cars in the way we've never seen before."

The Chinese expansion here could be boosted indirectly through regulation.

From January new emission restrictions will prevent virtually all Japanese cars manufactured before 2005 from being imported, a move which importers warn will lead to sharp increases in the price of some popular models such as the Subaru Legacy.

A Transport Ministry source was sceptical about how much that would help the Chinese, because they were not offering what would be short in supply.

"New Zealanders, generally, want to buy cheap white station-wagons, and the new import rules could make those harder to come by. What the Chinese are making is small, white hatchbacks, and there's no shortage of those coming out of Japan."

New car sellers warn of a price war.

Perry Kerr, chief executive of the Motor Industry Association, whose members are the new car sellers, said that there was little doubt that Chinese manufacturers would become established brands over the next 10-15 years. However, rivals would respond.

"Do I see the likes of Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, just rolling over? Not likely.

'These are huge multinational companies that will retain market share, potentially at any cost.'"

 

[Martian2]

I want to add three more items to the growing list of Chinese excellence for exports. I could add a lot more, but I just want to make the point that technology controls against China are pointless.

Taiwan 6th-largest machine tool maker - CNA ENGLISH NEWS

"Taiwan 6th-largest machine tool maker
2011/07/09 20:39:28

Taipei, July 9 (CNA) Taiwan ranked as the sixth-largest machine tool maker in the world in 2010 in terms of production value, the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) said Saturday.

Citing data released by Gardner Publications Inc., a U.S.-based publisher of media on durable goods manufacturing, the DGBAS said output of Taiwan-made machine tools totaled US$3.8 billion (NT$109 billion) in 2010, up 67.8 percent from a year earlier.

China's production value of machine tools -- worth US$20 billion -- was the largest in the world last year, followed by Japan' s US$11.8 billion and Germany's US$9.7 billion, according to the data.

The top three producers accounted for 62.7 percent of the world's total output, which rose 21.2 percent from 2010 to US$66.3 billion, the data shows.

After the financial meltdown of 2008, the global machine tool sector got back on the road to recovery from the second half of 2009, the government agency said.

In 2010, Japan ranked as the world's largest machine tool exporter, selling US$7.8 billion-worth of products overseas, up 85.8 percent from the previous year, followed by Germany and Italy.

Taiwan was the fourth-largest machine tool exporter, shipping US$3 billion-worth of products abroad, up 72.1 percent year-on-year. (By Lin Hui-chun and Frances Huang)"

Taipei, Dec. 25 (CNA) The output value of Taiwan's LED industry remained the world's biggest in 2011, despite lower-than-expected market growth, according to a local industry association.

As the eurozone's debt problems dragged down demand, the output value of the global LED market grew by only 2.6 percent to US$16.6 billion (NT$502.48 billion) this year from US$16.1 billion in 2010, the Photonics Industry and Technology Development Association (PIDA) said in a recent report.

The PIDA is an organization jointly set up by the government and Taiwan's business and academic circles with the aim of promoting the local photonics industry.

In terms of regional performance, Taiwan still topped the market with a total output value of US$4.54 billion in 2011 -- including those of the upstream epitaxial wafers -- although the figure declined 0.4 percent from last year's US$4.56 billion, the PIDA said.

South Korea, which has run its LED sector aggressively in the past few years, ranked third behind Taiwan and Japan with output values of US$3.35 billion this year, representing an increase of nearly 5 percent from last year, the association said.

Some South Korean companies have launched low-priced products to tap into the lighting market but they still need to purchase LED components from Taiwan to save costs because of their limited scale of production, the PIDA said.

The association added that LED output value in Europe plunged 7.3 percent from US$1.74 billion in 2010 to US$1.61 in 2011 due to the impact of the European debt crisis and fierce competition.

On the contrary to Europe's decline, China's LED output value surged 26 percent year-on-year from 2010 thanks to local government support, the highest growth among all regions, the PIDA said."
