The world's leading electronics retailer Best Buy has started to sell its self-owned brand LCD TVs in China for the first time and those TVs are only available in Best Buy's stores.

Chi Mei Group, the Taiwan-based LCD panel manufacturer, has jointly announced with Suning in Shanghai that the two companies will cooperate to explore Chinese mainland's flat-panel TV market.

Chinese electronics retailer Suning has released the "China Air Conditioner Industry White Book 2008" in which the company estimates that the total sale of China's air conditioner market will reach 75 million, of which 34 million will be from domestic companies.

According to Chinese media, Wal-Mart Shenzhen Sam's Club has been refusing to sell Chinese brand color TV by exclusively selling foreign brand color TV sets since it was relocated to Qiaoxiang Road at the end of 2005.

According to 163.com, Chinese electronics retailer Suning will acquire its competitor Dazhong for RMB3 billion.
