Motorola CEO sees business improvement

BEIJING - Sanjay Jha , chief executive officer of Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc, said he anticipates a further improvement in the company's business in China, and predicted that more than 50 percent of the country's mobile subscribers will be using smartphones within the next two to four years.

Jha, who attended the Beijing launch ceremony of a new mobile phone model in conjunction with China Mobile Ltd on Wednesday, said Motorola Mobility sold around 2.2 million smartphones in China last year.

The company is likely to improve on that performance this year as it had sold more than one million of the devices to the Chinese market by the end of the first quarter.
