Abstract
The consumer electronic industry of China accomplished rapid growth as “Factory of the world” on the boundary of WTO (World Trade Organization) joining at the end of 2001.
The power of pulling growth was the foreign capital enterprises including overseas Chinese such as Hong Kong/Taiwan capital rather than Chinese local enterprises.
For example, a huge EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Service) enterprise “Foxconn”, the overseas subsidiary of Taiwan Company, is employing 400,000 to 500,000 people in the South China Region, and plays the role as “Factory of the world”. However, as pointed out by many people, the production process in China was rather low value process of the assembling/test.
In this paper, I would like to clarify recent trend of the consumer electronic industry in China, and analyse the structural problems and changes left under the prosperity.
In addition, I will refer to the dilemma of the Propaganda “Technology Innovation” policy executed under the 11th 5-year plan, as well as the poliey 7 the itention to global standard.
