On the prospects of exporting domestically produced teaching instruments to the world, the paper lists several figures as the evidence for the argument that China has maintained high growth rate of exporting and possessed crucial conditions for future expansion. For example, the annual growth rate of teaching equipment export trade volume was kept as high as 36% from 1991 to 1995, 26% from 1996 to 2000, and the export volume reached 118.32 million US dollars. The paper then talks about the recently applied cooperation forms of teaching instruments export. Finally the paper goes to some brief information about the Tenth China Exhibition of International Educational Technologies and Equipments.
