--FILE--People visit the stand of Sony during an expo in Beijing, China, 5 May 2018. Sony products were first introduced into the Chinese mainland in the late 1970s. In 1979, Deng Xiaoping met with Akio Morita, who was one of Sony's founders. In 1996, Sony China was formally established and began to see enhanced sales and marketing in China. Sony has benefited from China's reform and opening-up policy and witnessed the great achievements in this historical drive. In the early days, Sony was lucky to provide people with their first Walkman, TV, camera or personal computer, enriching people's lives and bringing them happiness. Now, facing the needs brought by consumption upgrades, we are honored to provide premium choices to deliver both functional and emotional value. Currently, China is one of Sony's largest single markets along with Japan and the United States. Since I took over as chairman and president of Sony China in 2016, Sony has realized double-digit sales growth in China for two consecutive years. Being confident in China's prospects and potential, we have made bold targets for 2018 as well. In addition, Sony owns five factories in China that produce electronic products and devices for markets all around the world.
