尽管中国的领先企业今天问题层出不穷,但或许它们正处于赶上并最终超越它们的外国对手的第一阶段。换句话说,我们现在可能正在目睹类似1970年代日本汽车工业对抗美国同行的开端。我们看到的是同一个故事吗——新的竞争者找到如何低成本制造产品的途径,向海外的低端市场引入这些产品,逐渐地、不动生色地建立市场份额,直到最后走上主导高增值产品的道路? Although China's leading companies are experiencing problems today, they may be in the first phase of catching up and eventually surpassing their foreign counterparts. In other words, we may now be witnessing the beginning of a similar move by the Japanese auto industry against American counterparts in the 1970s. Do we see the same story - new competitors find ways to manufacture products at low cost, introduce them to overseas low-end markets and gradually and virtually establish market share until finally Leading the way of high value-added products?
