Last month saw nearly all world manufacturers of TV equipment swarmed into China vying for order forms of China's TV stations at various levels, a big market of RMB6bn yuan created by CCTV's schedule to open 10 Digital television (DTV) channels in the next few years.

It is reported about a dozen major TV equipment manufacturers across the world have been in China, including Lucent of US, Barco of Belgium, Thomson of France, and other world known giants of the trade. The Known domestic bidders are ZTE and Huawei alongside the others.

As reported, tense competition already heats up among Chinese and foreign manufacturers for grabbing a market share of DTV processing as of broadcasting, program record, transmission and receiving.

A view by experts is that China must have grasped the key technologies of DTV and thus set about projecting the country's DTV cause. Sources say that China will have DTV programs on by one fourth of its TV stations by 2005, DTV programs in North China by 2010 and DTV on air by 2015 in central and Western China.
