Source: Comline
Comline Computer Wire via Individual Inc. -- According to the Nihon Keizai
Shimbun, the president of Acer, one of Taiwan's major PC makers, announced that
in order to strengthen the company's PC operations in China, the company would
be increasing by 5 times the amount of financing for those operations. Total
financing of the Acer Group in China was US$5 million; the company will
increase that to US$25 million. Next year, the company will begin
manufacturing PCs in China. Acer is also considering starting semiconductor
operations in China in the future. It is the company's goal to be the top
brand in the Chinese PC market, but with IBM and Compaq already there, the
company's share in 1996 was only 4%.
