According to The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) has set up a partnership with Gome, the largest electronics retailer in China.

Gome has 1,000 stores in 168 cities. Dell has had only modest market share in China, behind HP (NYSE: HPQ), Leveno, and Acer. This is primarily due to its lace of retail distribution.

The WSJ adds "China's PC market is expected to sustain annual growth of 25% in the coming three to five years, according to IDC's estimates."

Douglas A. McIntyre is a partner at 24/7 Wall St.
