The emergence of China in international trade is producing large rearrangements in the global economy. The present study examines experiences of production sectors of electronic equipment and the competitive strategies of Chinese leading companies based on the use of economies of scale. Chinese competition affects not only developed nations but also occurs in low- and medium-technology, where millions of jobs are created in developing countries. To the extent that in China coexist modern technology sectors with other backward, especially in rural areas, it is analyzed the problem of "dual economy" and the existence of millions of migrant workers who fill jobs in labor intensive industries that generate strong competition for the less developed countries. As China today is experiencing a continuing process of urbanization, it is concluded that it will persist a long time in the production of goods of low and medium complexity, which means that other developing nations must prepare and should make profound social and economic changes in order not to succumb under so strong and lasting competitive pressure.
