Japanese media: Ranking of television sales in Japan, companies with Chinese background occupy "half of the country"

According to the Nikkei, with Sony Group's decision to divest its television business and transfer it to a joint venture led by Chinese companies, the "Chinese capital" share in Japan's domestic television market will rise to 60 percent. Japanese television manufacturers once held an important position in the global electronics industry, but now they are at a crucial turning point in their business model transition. In some electrical appliance stores in Tokyo, televisions made by Chinese companies such as TCL and Hisense are already appearing prominently. The most prominent positions still belong to Japanese brands such as "REGZA," "BRAVIA," and "VIERA," but the capital structure behind these brands has changed. For example, in the case of "REGZA," 95% of the company's shares are held by Hisense Group, with Toshiba contributing only 5%. Sony's television business will be operated by a joint venture company with a 51% share held by TCL. Although brands like "Sony" and "BRAVIA" will still be retained, they are now part of the Chinese capital system in terms of capital and operation.
