GE moves X-Ray unit to China to tap emerging markets 26 July 2011 Last updated at 04:12 GMT

General Electric has seen a surge in demand from China for its products

General Electric said it is shifting the headquarters of its X-Ray unit to China, in an attempt to capture the fast-growing emerging markets.

The move comes as companies look to tap into emerging markets as demand from developed economies slows down.
The company said several senior officials of the unit will relocate to Beijing from the US over the next month.
China is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.
"I am keeping a globally distributed executive team," said Anne Legrande, vice president of GE Healthcare Global X-Ray.
