Turning the Technology into a Commodity
In the early 1980s, Wang started the process of industrializing his life's work, as well as the exploration of a marketing approach combining production, education, and research. In 1988, the laser photo-typesetting system became a mature commodity. From 1988 to 1993, the product was popularized via market sales, with a sales volume of more than 10,000 units, not to mention exports to 10 countries and regions.
Over 1,000 newspaper offices and more than 6,000 printing houses in China used the laser photo typesetting system, forcing products of the same line out of the Chinese mainland. The American HTS Company closed down as a result. In fact, many powerful foreign companies announced that they would not compete with China in the area of laser photo typesetting.
Currently, Chinese language laser typesetting technology occupies 99 percent of the domestic newspaper industry market and 90 percent of the black-and-white domestic book publishing market.
The rapid expansion and application of Wang's computer technology both inside and outside the country has made the Chinese newspaper industry as advanced as any other worldwide.
