From CNETAsia:
China’s growth into a nation that leads in the use of broadband technology, and the changing role of its manufacturing companies from just assemblers to designers, were among the trends analysts discussed at a conference here Thursday.
Research firm iSuppli hosted the event, and its analysts warned against the mistaken notion that China will remain a relatively unsophisticated country when it comes to the use of technology.
The ability of Chinese companies to make computing and electronics gear has made them longtime favorites of firms looking to lower manufacturing costs. Once the guts of products are made, they’re shipped back to companies who add design touches and specialized features and sell them.
