From the International Herald Tribune:
After almost a decade of explosive growth in its electronics industry, China has overtaken the United States as the world’s biggest supplier of information technology goods, according to a report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Data in the report due to be published Monday show that China’s exports of information and communication technology – including laptop computers, mobile phones and digital cameras – increased by more than 46 percent to $180 billion in 2004 from a year earlier, easily outstripping for the first time U.S. exports of $149 billion, which grew 12 percent from 2003.
