STMicroelectronics, EMP and NXP’s wireless division merged to be ST-ERICSSON, which has not given play to the synergy?while its revenue has started to decline, with the more drastic drop in growth margin than other mobile baseband peers. ST-ERICSSON has suffered losses for consecutive 13 quarters, mainly on account of the competition from Qualcomm, TI and Infineon. Particularly in the field of smart phones, ST-ERICSSON really has nothing good or unusual to report, while Qualcomm develops well in the world since 90% of the smart phones made by Samsung and SonyEricsson adopt Qualcomm’s basebands. Nokia develops more suppliers actively, and the shipment of its mobile phone with the basebands of Infineon and Broadcom soared in 2010, which grasps the market shares of ST-Ericsson. In respect of TD-SCDMA, ST-Ericsson is challenged by MTK.

Alumina, extracted from bauxite, gets chiefly used in the production of aluminum (electrolytic aluminum). China abounds in bauxite resources spreading in Guangxi (26.9%), Henan (26.0%), Guizhou (24.3%) and Shanxi (13.7%), with the basic reserves in 2009 reaching 839 million tons. The output of alumina in China accumulated to 23.83 million tons in 2009, 99.0 percent of which was contributed by Henan, Shandong, Guangxi, Shanxi and Guizhou.

China had been the world’s largest gold producer for three consecutive years from 2007 to 2009. In the first half of 2010, its gold output totaled 159.24 tons, increased by 12.74 tons, or 8.69%, over the same period of 2009; of which, the output from gold mines achieved 131.47 tons, up 9.76% year on year.

Recent years have witnessed a sharp increase in the PCI case load and the application of coronary stent in China. During 2000-2009, the CAGR of PCI case load was above 39.6% on average; and the actual consumption of coronary stent system increased by 38.4% yearly from 2002 to 2009. PTCA balloon catheter not only serves as transport system of stent, but also as device placing front pre-expansion or rear expansion of stent. Along with the evolution of PCI and coronary stent industry, China will see a huge demand in the industry of PTCA balloon catheter. In 2002-2009, China’s demand for PTCA balloon catheter kept an average annual growth rate of 38.1%, with the demand in 2009 recording 653,000 sets.

Boosted by global economic recovery, China’s shipping market has accelerated the pace of development. The container throughput of major Chinese ports achieved 108 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) in the first three quarters of 2010. It’s expected that the container throughput of Chinese ports will reach 134 million TEUs in 2010, up 9.8% year on year.

In 2009, China’s hemodialysis equipment market scale reached RMB1.06 billion, representing less than 2% of the world’s total. There are only 10-15% patients suffering end-stage renal failure accepting dialysis therapy, lagging far behind the 95% in developed countries and indicating considerable market potential.

Benefiting from population aging, consumption upgrading and policy support, the orthopedic instrument industry has witnessed rapid development in recent years.
