iPad Accounts For 71 Percent of China's Tablet Market
Lenovo settles for distant second with a 10.5 percent share
According to Analysys International, almost three-quarters of Chinese tablet buyers prefer to opt for Apple's iPad.
For the third quarter of this year, Apple is said to have gained a 71.4 percent of the Chinese tablet market. It represents a 1 percent decrease from the second quarter, but it managed to leave Lenovo in a distant second place with a 10.5 percent share.
In third place was Chinese company Ereneben who settled for a 3.6 percent share of the market, followed closely by Samsung with a 3.5 percent share.
China's overall tablet market increased by 62.5 percent last quarter when compared to the the same period last year. During the third quarter, 2.6 million tablets were sold in the country, an increase from 1.6 million a year ago.
Globally, it's a different story. The iPad remained the market leader in the U.S. with a 55 percent market share of tablet shipments during the last quarter. However, it represents a 14 percent drop due to the introduction of various Android-powered tablets.
It's also a different outcome for Apple's smartphone market share in China. Due to its premium price points (expected to be reduced by 2014 through a cheaper model), the iPhone saw Android dominating a 90 percent share in the region.

Hivemind at it's best.
Would also be interesting to see what they define as 'tablet' because while riding public transport, the 7" format dominates.
Toms is losing my interest due to this poor and highly bias journalism.. Poor show. VERY poor show.
Well, taking into consideration the population of China and considering that only 2.6 million tablets were sold there this year, of which 70.1% are made by Apple, with 14.1% marketshare going to two Chinese companies, which I presume are selling cheaper tablets, together with another 3.5% marketshare to Samsung (which I presume will also be selling cheaper models than the iPad), I don't find it implausible at all.
Also, the source of the article is Reuters, Zak didn't just come up with these numbers out of nowhere.

Those kiddies doesn't know that. Don't waste your time with them.
As biased as assuming that an article is false contrary to the evidence?
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
And by the way, the Ereneben that this article mentioned, is selling their tablet at almost the same price at Apple iPad. Guess how consumers will choose? Don't let this article misleads you, there are way more people using tablets running Android in China than iOS.
