Since 1997, just ten years, China has become the world's biggest telecommunications equipment exporter, exports from 1997 to 27 billion dollars to 2007 of 845 billion dollars. At the same time, Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese domestic telecom equipment manufacturers have begun to compete for foreign markets. According to the French "Les Echos" reported a decade later, China has become the world's largest telecommunications equipment producer, far ahead of other countries.

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) statistics, China's exports of telecommunications equipment from 1997 has been 2.7 billion dollars to 2007 of 845 billion dollars. The organization released a report this month, said: "10 years ago, China's telecommunications equipment (telephone, Internet, cable, etc.) is lower than the OECD exports to major countries.

A double reason: Overseas giant plant in China + China's rise

One of the reasons for this phenomenon, in recent years a large number of Western companies invest and build factories in China. As the major telecom equipment manufacturers will move their investments, have set up factories in China.

The world's largest mobile phone maker Nokia has five factories in China; Motorola's most phones are made in China; Apple put the entire phone assembly is contracted out to a Foxconn, while the latter only in Shenzhen, there are 270,000 employees and At the same time as the Hewlett-Packard, Motorola and Nokia and other companies.

Another reason is that in order to Huawei and ZTE Corporation of China, represented by local manufacturers in Western markets become increasingly competitive. Huawei's case, its 2008 signed a contract of 23 billion U.S. dollars in sales, 75% of the partner is a foreign company, or about 17.2 billion U.S. dollars from overseas markets.
