Sichuan Changhong Electric Co., Ltd. (Changhong) is a Chinese consumer electronics company based in Mianyang, Sichuan,[2] and founded on October 1958. It is the second-largest manufacturer of televisions in China.[3] In 2004, 90% of the television sets exported from China to the United States were made by Changhong.[4]
