China to triple output
NZPA Peking China is planning to more than triple its computer production by 1990 to reduce reliance on imports, the general manager of the national computer industry bureau, Mr Li Rui, told the “China Daily.” Under a crash expansion programme production capacity should rise in the next eight years from the present 500 a year to some 1800 and capacity for making microcomputers should soar from around 500 this year to 40,000, Mr Li said. He said that at the end of last year more than 3500 computers and 10,000 microcomputers were in use across China, in fields ranging from oil and chemicals to transport and banking. Up to that time, he said, China had spent SUSSOO million on importing. more than 500 standard computers and 10,000 micro and singleboard computers. He said China’s computer industry now employed 100,000 people in 20 research institutes and 86 factories and was growing.
