Outside China, it is seeking to increase its shipments by 65 percent to 13.6 million units. Some 4.5 million units are targeted for the emerging markets, mainly Southeast Asia, Russia and South Africa. <br/> <br/> TCL said it expected to be profitable in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2004 as operations in Europe and North America continued to show improvement. <br/> <br/> In the third quarter, the company posted a net loss of HK$59 million (US$7.56) as its bottom line was wieghed down by the joint venture formed with France’s Thomson SA. <br/> <br/> TCL launched its venture with RCA brand owner Thomson last summer when it pooled its core TV-making business with Thomson’s television assets. <br/> <br/> The Hong Kong-listed arm of TCL Corp., which lists shares in Shenzhen, owns 67 percent of the venture with Thomson, which is called TTE Corp. According to the presentation, TCL expects to report that TTE made a profit in the fourth quarter of 2004. <br/> <br/> <br/>(Shenzhen Daily/Agencies) <br/> <br/></td></tr> </table> <table><tr><td class=articlefrom>(Source: English Site of <a href="http://kuching2.mofcom.gov.cn" class="fromlink" target="_blank">Kuching</a>)</td></tr></table> The addressee Email :
