In 2004, China became the world's number one exporter of technology products used for information and communication purposes. Products include laptop computers, mobile phones and digital cameras.

Including both imports and exports, China's share of global trade in these technology products increased almost ten-fold to US$329 billion in 2004 from $35 billion in 1996. America's share of trade for these product categories grew by only 63 percent over the same period.

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, growth in the amount of technology products that China exports to and imports from other Asian countries continues to accelerate.
