Write: Winter [2011-05-20]

Consumer goods company Unilever's annual China sales have reached 1 billion euros ($1.46 billion) and annual growth is expected to be at least 15 percent, fuelled by rising affluence in the world's third-largest economy, a top executive said on Wednesday.

"I'm not doing a good job if (sales) growth doesn't reach 15 or 16 percent," Alan Jope, Unilever's China president, said on the sidelines of a conference.
