; [E,xaerpts] Aocording to a diseloaure by Japan-China trede souroes~ China reoently
infortinally proposed the uae oP a profluation-sharing method in its purchase oP aseembly
plants for aolor television receivera from Japan. The methods~ iP adopted, would cell
Por payment in producta.
~ Japanese firn~ whioh have been prepaMng to bid in the television plant deal, inoluding
Hitachi Seisaku~o~ Tokyo 3hibaura DeNd., Matsushita DeNd Sangyo, Senyo Denki and
Sherp Kansai Keden, are unanimousiy reluctant bo go along With the Chinese offer Por
reasona releting to quality control. Some of them may even &bandon their plen to take ?
part in the bidding.
. Hitachi Seisaku~o and Tokyo Shibaura Denki hava already ~ointly acquired the PRC ordera
for aasembiy plants for picture tubes aM ~ntegratied cirauita,
PftC pians for aolor televiaion~roceivers are part of the four modernization progrema.
UrdQr these plans, a neW plant for 14-inch ard 20-inch pioture tubes ia to be built in
Hsinyang in the outskirts of Sian city~ while another new plant for integrated circuits
Will be built in t~fuhsi in Kiangsu Province. The production capacity for picture tubes
t+ill be 9E0,000 units per year, arrl producbion itself is expected to begin in Denember
7.980. Meant+hile~ the construction oP the integrated circuits plant is seheduled to
, begin as soon as the approval'of the Coaom (Coordination Committee on Exports to
Comnuniat Countries) is obtained.
It oppears that the Chine~e proposal has been prompted by a oonsideration involving
China~a foreiBn Qxchango holdings. The assembly plant deal amounts to approximately
10 billion ycn. The orders already received t'or plents for pioture tubea, integrated
circuita and glass for pioture tubes respeotivaly are worth 15 billion, 15 billion and
13 billion yen. This means thab China~s total paya~ent to Japan in the belevision
industry area alone Would be as much as 53 billion yen.

HITACHI TO ENTER U. S. GENERAL PURPOSE COMPUTER MARKET
_ Tokyo NIKKAN KOGYO SHINBITN in Japanese 11 Nov 78 p 7
[Article: "Pro~ect Team To Be Formed To Study Strategy and Types of
Machines and Draw Concluaions Within This Year"]
[TexC] HiCachi Limited (president, Hiroyoshi Yoehiyama) has decided on a
- policy Co enter sales of general purpose computers in the American market
as one ph$se of its computer induatry development. A projecC team has -
baen formed at the computer induatry headquartera (chief of headquarters,
Masami Nagafu~i), wh3ch is presently studying sales atrategy and the types -
of machines to be offered, and it is expected to submit its concluaions
within this year. This company ie planning to invade the American martcet,
which is th~ atronghold of Che world's foremost computer manufacturer IIIM,
with iCs own brand of computers as the top goal in its development ~,lan
for the next year, and this line of action an the part of Hitachi, which
is one of the foremoat computer manufactureYa in Japan, may cause some
ma~or reverberationa in the computer industry, both domestic and abroad. .
This company has de~ignated its computer industry as a atrategic induetry
with plans to firm its poaition in the domestic market. It ia also devel-
oping ita foreign market.
- This company entered into a sales contract with the computer leasing com-
pany of the United Statea, the Aitel Company (based in San Francisco,
California), to let said company handle ita large computers, which will be
marketed under their trade name (OII~i). It introduced ite No 1 computer
- (equivalent of M-180, to be marketed as AS 6) to A Company's technical sup-
port center., and this has been the starting point for the export of an
_ average of five to six units per~month. This A Company ia selling this
computer in both the United States snd Canada. .
~ In this manner Hitachi~has already made aome inroada in its study of the
American market through the introduction of the OFM lime. To this end,
this company has been making continuous surveys on marketing etrategy,
methods a,nd ~reas. What has led ta this present course of deciding to in-
. vade the American market has been the solidification of the M series -

general purpose computer's domestic market posiCion, Cogether with Che de-
; cision that an incuraian into the world's largest market, the American, is
paramounC to bolstering their own image in its atr.ategy for developing
overseas computer mark~ts.
Added to some preliminary surve,ys thaC had been made in the past, it was
to this end that Che pro~ecC team was forre.ed to become Che center of the -
final step Chat w~ill select the type of computers to be markeCed and lay
Ghe gales strategy for the specific implementaCion of this salea program,
and it will come up wiCh a concreCe sCrategy by next spring.
Since there are'no "limiting conditions" to the OEM contract with A Com-
pany, there are some questions of trust that may arise with prnmoting sales
_ of products of its own brands, but other than that, no ma~or problems are
expected in such a promotion. As a result, it now has been definitely de- -
cided that Hitachi wi11 enter the American market next Japanese fiscal year.
Mitsubishi Electric and Nippon Electric have already set up on-siCe sales
' companies for their office ~omputer products in the United States,~and will ~
_ start sales next year. Fu;Jitsu is studying the introducCion of its general
purpose computer in a manner noC unlike Hitachi.
In this manner, Hitachi's incursion into the stronghold of IBM, which is
presently waging a massive assault on the Japanese market, will probably
create a massive impact on the electronic computer industries both at home
and abroad.

[Text] Hitachi, Lrd. (Hiroyoshi Yoshiyama, president) ~
clea~ly stated on 3 October it3 atrategy for the coming
facsimile battle ar.d its developme~ntal policy. Spe- ~
cifically, (1) e:sports will be centered on contracts for
overseas customer trademark products (OEM), (2) products
that are standardized, popularly used, and of high qual-
ity wil]. be diversified and customers will be offered a
free, wide ranga selection, and (3) market prices have -
dropped and consequently the number of customers has in-
~creased so efforts will bp directed at developing
machines almost at Che level of household electrical ap-
pliances and at volume sales. Contracts have been signed
or are being negotiated with two American companies and
one European country for exports as OEM. The first such
export will be to the U.S. Telauto Company, and it is
expected that an annual export of 2,000-3,000 sets will
commence at the end oF this year. This present policy
seems to be lending emphasis to the development of an
intelligent facsimile, a fascimile computer term;.nal us- -
ing ordinary paper and the inkjet technique, and the de-
velopmenr of 5 to 10 second super high speed units in the
future plans. -
Since March of this year, Hitachi has been marketing eight types of high
speed units (1 Minute units) as well as a medium speed "HIFAX 341" that
conforms to the GII specifications of the International Telephone and Tele- '
graph Consultative Committee (CCITT), and it is proceeding to secure its
position in the facsimile industry. According to the company, s~les are in-
crea~ing regularly and it is currently increasing the production capacity of
its Totsuka plant.
The company arrived at the p~sition that (1) th~e interconnectio~., of differ-
ent facsimile systems is naw possible, (2) the industry is seeing advances

MITI WANTS TO EXCLUDE 30 PERCENT OF SOFTWARE INCOME FROM TAX
Tokyo NIKKAN KOGYO SHINBiPN in Japaneae 16 Oct 78 p 1
.
~ (Text] With the intei?tion of establiehing a"special tax exemption eyetem
~or income relating to multi-uae software transactions (so.ftware promo-
tion tax syatena" next year, the Minietry of International Trade and
Induetry (MITI) has begun ~negotiating with the Ministry of Finan~e. Ac-
r,ordin~ to the diacloaure made by the MITI, the said exemption system seeks
to tax exempt 30 percent of income resulting from traneactions involving
the mul~iuse softwaree that are registered with the Data Processing Pro-
na tion Bueinesaea Association and incidental technical aervices (confined �
to thoee servic~s performed b y technicians that have pasaed the data pro-
ces~o~ qualification test). Ite sim is to combat the salea offensive by
the foreign capital computer manufacturers led by IBM, ae well as to rapidly
eetablish an environment receptive to co~ercialization of computer
software. Oppoaition from the Finance Miniatry, intent on increasing the
tax re~enue, ie anticipated. However, the MITI is planning to apply atrong
pressure to realize the tax exemption system in order to implement the
Software Promotion Decision, a aupplementary provision to the Law on ~
Temporary Measures for Upgrading Specified Machinery and Information
Industriea appended at the time of the latter's prcmulgation. The probable
outcome is that the final aettlement will be a political one.
Relative to the total data procesaing cost, the software cost ratio ie in-
creasing rapidly. It ia said that by the end of 1984 when the effective
atatute of limitation for the Law on Temporary Measures for Upgrading
Specified Machinery aad Information Industriea expires, the ratio is ex-
pected Co reach 80 to 90 percent of the total cost. Therefore, the estab-
lishment of a software market based on co~ercially profitable software
services has become an urgent necessity.
Hosiever, in order to compete With IBM, the domestic manufacturers hav~e
traditionally employed a sales tactic based on "no cost software aervices."
This action necessarily led them to uaderplay the qualitative hardware
differences and "braad image" differences. 1'hus, unless there is some form
oF atrong incentive, it wocrld be difficult to auddenly change the sales
policy, to affix price on softwares and to commercialize them. Furthermore, ~

due to the technological lag~ the domeetic computer manufacturere~ eoft-
wgres are markedly inferior Co thoee of TBM in their funcCional capabili-
tiee. And while IBM is expected to introduce epoch-making eoftwares in
con~unction witih the eystem for the nexr period, the truth of the matter
ia that the domestic computer m~nufacturers do not have compareble soft-
wares. ,
For these reasona, the MITI is atitempting to establish an income tax
exemption system as a strong incentive for aecuring a market place environ-
ment for comm~rcialized aoftwarea.
The enenQ tion ration will be 30 perce~t of income derived from transac-
tions involving multi-uae softwares and incidental technical servicea.
Inasmuch as the Finance MinisCry is atriving to increase Cax revenues, ne-
gotiationo ov~er the eatablishment of the said exemption eystem ie expected
to encounter difficulties. It is cerCain that the final decieion wi~.1 b~:

� UNESCO INFORMATION RESOLUTION CHOICES DISCUSSED
Paris JEUNE AFRIQUE in French 22 Nov 78 ~~p 37-38
[Article by Sophie Bessis: "The Price of an P,~reement'~
� [Text] The blocs confronting one another in UNESCO on
the problema of information are moving toward a comgro-
mise. But the final text risks being considerably
sweeCened.
Paris. Are the 144 member statea of UNESCO finally on the path of a
general conaenaus concerning the famous draft declaration on means of in-
1 formation?
No moves had yet been made at the opening of the 20th session of the General
Conference which is carrying on ita work in Paris until 28 November. In
Che three camps present, the Third World, the Western countries, and the ~
countries of Che East, the atmoaph~re leaned to pessimism and they doubted
~ that they could reach agreement on a sub~ect which has been in the forefront
for six years.
The problems relating to information and media continue to cause much ink
to flow and to monopolize the attention of all the participants and observers
- at the conference. But necessity is the mother of invention and the dele-
gates were actually agreed on one single point: to arrive at a consensus
at any cost to preserve "the spirit of Nairobi" and not to tarnish the
image of UNESCO by the spectacle of a public confrontation among the dif-
ferent blocs.
The marathon then unfolded at two times. In a first phase the most varied
rumors made the rounds on the fate reserved for ~hi.~ draft which had been
discussed and recast every two years and sent back every time: it was
going to be definitively buried; it would be postponed to the 21st session,
which will take place in 1980 in Belgrade; it would be re~ected by the
Westerners and would then have no value since it was not adopted unanimously.
But the nonalined let it be known that they would consider as a snub the

- Western refusal to take into account taeir sepirations for a"new inter-
national ~xder in information." As for the director of UNESCO, Mahtar
M'Bow, he uaed all his weight to reconcile opposing points of view.
But is thie poasible without ending up with a declarati.on which has become
ina3gnificant? For the Weaterners, the reference to atate control of the
means of consorship and the posaibiliCy of tranafo?~ming the media inCo means
of pr4paganda. The defendera of the draft have rather diluted their wine
in Che past Cwo yeara, to the great in~ury of the Soviets moreover. While
that preaenCed at Nairobi in 1976 granted a clear preeminence to Che state
_ in the broadcasting and control of information, the present text affirms
respect for freedom of information and xeducea the rol~ initially devolving
upon the authorities without suppressing it eutirely. :'~iere have therefore
been conceasions, but deemed to be insufficienC by the Europeans and the
Americans pushed by their own press onto the paCh of fi,rmness.
After the first few days, when each had the opportunit~; to test the inten-
tior,s of his opposite nwnbers, there were intense com;ersations in the
_ corridors among the delegations, a proliferation of amendments, the creation
of a"group to study the draft." Several meetingQ took place to try to
arrive at a compromisp based on a second draft m;sre in conformity with the
Western desires. In this atmosphere every "hard" official statement was
shad~d by much more conciliatory private or official remarks, and for sev-
eral days the main obstacles to a consensus have been lif ted. The Tunisian
Mr Mustapha Masmoudi, spokesman of the nonalined and one of the "founding
fathers" of the draft, even lets it be understood r:~ac the countries of the
Third World are not insisting on emphasizing absolutely the role of the
state in the final version.
The development in the attitude of the United States has been the det~r-
mining factor in working out an agreement. Fierczly hostile to the draft
- from the beginning, it acquired the favors of the`~Third World through a
double operation. The American delegate J. Reinhardt took care in his
speech of 3 November to leave the door open to the negotiations by not
hurling any anathemas, and announced that his country was going to con-
tribute considerably to the development of information infrastructures
in the developing countries. That could only please the interested parties.
_ This statement provoked a relief close to euphoria and Mr M'Bow, in his
reply in the general political debate "took note with satisfaction of the
_ constructive spirit" of the American commitments. At the last minute,
however, the Europeans submitted a new text which must be discussed before
the final debate on 16 November; theatrical displays therefore cannot be
excluded. But it remains that the climate seems propitious to the con-
clusion of an agreement.
One may well wonder if everyone is confident of the foreseeable outcome
of this business, which in the beginning threatened to be~ome the abscess
of fixatfon of divergences among the different groups, as the problem of
the exclusion from UNESCO of Israel was a short time ago. Not quite. It

Ttie second group of inelcontente~ ahich makeg no bones about edmitting it,
is the American press as a whole: it is the hue and cry since the government
in Washington decided to place no further obstacle to the adoption of the
declaration. It attracted the thunderbolts of the edit~riel aritere of the
big paperg which for some days were in a etate of aar ageinst UNESCO and
againat the official position of their country. "No to UN~SCO~" headlined
the New York Timeg recently, stre~sing that the most precioue rightr~ of the
Wextern democracies would not be the eub,ject of compromiee and rebuking the
West for heving "yielded" to Third World end Soviet demands. The defense
