PARIS (Reuters) - China surpassed the United States as the world's top exporter of laptop computers, mobile phones and other information and communications technology devices in 2004, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said on Monday.
China exported $180 billion worth of so-called ICT goods in 2004, compared with U.S. exports of $149 billion, the OECD, a free-market agency funded by 30 countries, said.
OECD officials said that China was likely to take top spot in 2005 too, but hard proof would take many months to collect.

China trumps US as top PC, phone exporter Problem is, after you make a phone call, you just want to make another one an hour later.

Jobs are a luxury, not an entitlement.
The same goes for property.

Weight loss, dressing to the nines, and -- most importantly -- becoming the best person I can be.
I seem to be becoming magnetic.

And guess what, I don't care. Neither should you.
The rallying cry of idiots worldwide. Or would you prefer to live in a world where China produces everything value-added, just to save a few bucks? Don't let the Walmart doors hit you in the ass on the way in.

Only one-worlders could possibly be happy with news like this. They say the tech boom over in China is now bigger than the one we had here a few years ago, with no end in sight.
What's most amazing is those that claim the U.S. is driving this and actually benefiting more than the Chicoms.
To: Golden Eagle
Due to the extremely large number of inaccurate and idiotic posts you've presented to this point, you are no longer relevant. Thanks and have a nice day.

What's most amazing is those that claim the U.S. is driving this and actually benefiting more than the Chicoms.Why thankyouverymuch! I am that target of your derision! Name me a single Chinese standard, interface, or platform that is developed by and for Chinese.
Guess how many of those systems have USB interfaces, DDR interfaces, Intel FSB's, etc? Guess how many of those peecees even have chinese keyboards? Do you have any idea how hard it is to send a mandarin/cannot-ese email to your office mate with a windows (pirated or not) platform? It's nearly impossible and they don't even bother. Koreans do, but I don't hear anyone bitchin about them.
It's easier to log in to FreeRepublic from Xiamen than it is to send or receive a chinese email.
