 We're here in the southwest corner of the Central Hall at CES, the largest tech trade show in the country. And this spot is usually anchored by two American companies, Intel and Microsoft. Microsoft, of course, pulled out of the show this year, leaving their booth empty. And it's been filled by a company that most Americans are probably not familiar with. Hisense is a Chinese electronics maker that has the number one market share in televisions in China. They're treating CES this year as kind of a coming out party. They've brought a wide variety of products from phones and tablets to a smart refrigerator to a touch screen, 3D, transparent TV, as well as the Google TV enabled, hi-def, big screen TVs that they're best known for. Hisense is just one of several large Chinese companies that have decided to bring their A-game to CES this year. While there's been some criticism that CES is waning in relevance as big companies take their biggest announcements to their own events, the Chinese companies really see this event as a prestigious platform. And while they're far from overtaking the major brands from the U.S., Japan, and Korea, the Chinese companies have certainly made a strong first impression.
