Aiming to solidify its image as a premium brand in China, Samsung Electronics Co. plans to demonstrate the latest of its cutting-edge products at a high-tech exhibition in Beijing.
The company said yesterday that it is participating in the China Beijing International High-Tech Expo 2008, an electronics industry fair running from today to Sunday.
Occupying 575 square meters of display space, the Korean company will introduce to Chinese customers a range of its products from a 70-inch LED-backlit LCD TV, TV sets with the most advanced display technology of organic light-emitting diodes.
Also on display are the world's smallest color laser printer which Samsung unveiled last month, and its Blu-ray players and full high-definition camcorders and cameras.
Coming during the run-up to the Olympic Games in August, the exhibition is seen as an opportunity to raise the profile of Samsung, one of the only 12 worldwide Olympic partners and the official sponsor for the games' mobile communication system.
Samsung will also bring to the tech fair a series of mobile phones specially developed and designed for the games as well as its global strategic model - the Soul.

Summary
Samsung is going to participate in Beijing International High-Tech Expo 2008 so as to enhance their premium brand image in China. And they are going to introduce the best display technology such as 70-inch LED backlit LCD TV. And they are also exhibiting color laser printer, which is the smallest in the world, Blu-Ray, camcorder and digital camera.
My Opinion
A few months ago, Samsung has been hit hard by unethical behavior in Korea. Even though they are still suffering from lots of tough situation, for example Chairman Lee has resigned from CEO; they are overcoming well as the best globalization conglomerate in Korea. They have recorded the best selling and have been able to outsmart Sony that is their competitor.
Where is Samsung’s power from? It is not that they are promoted the best global giant through the good products. I think what they have supported many international exhibits as part of brand marketing was important. When I have been to Eastern Europe, many Europeans don’t know Korea but know Samsung. I realized Samsung’s position as global company. Thus, the value of brand is beyond a nation. Therefore, I think other Korean firm, which works just in the domestic, should enhance their value of brand and go forward global.
