hello ep, <<China will have a large advantage if there is significant domestic market for either the end product or major components>>

... change that thought to the following, "China will have large advantage if the item in question are made from commodity materials using general machine tools, whether or not there is a large market in China. China will have an even greater advantage is there is significant domestic market for either the end product or major components"

anything made of cloths, to start, in 1982
anything made of plastic, to second, in 1986
anything to do with machine tools, to enhance, in 1992
anything requiring steel, to further boost, in 2002
anything necessitating brains, from here on out

vietnam works as a safety valve, nothing more, because vast tracts of china is still dirt poor and very hungry, full stop.
