The article highlights the industrial development business model of China as of 2004. China is a country whose economy does not suffer from not-invented-here syndrome. To the contrary, the country is a plagiarist 's paradise. Imitation is China 's industrial-development business model. The latest in pirated DVD are sold by sidewalk peddlers loitering near Beijing 's better hotels. Street vendors provide the finest counterfeit brand-name merchandise from all over the world for pennies on the dollar. Indeed, China 's burgeoning gray market, unauthorized production runs and off-the-books sales of otherwise legitimate quality goods, enjoys seemingly irrepressible growth. But perversely, its cavalier regard for intellectual property is precisely why the nation is destined to become a global innovation juggernaut. This copycat culture is rapidly developing an infrastructure for innovation that complements its evolving world class manufacturing infrastructure. More than any other country in the world, China is about the diffusion of improvements in production processes rather than improvements in end-user technology. Demographic, industrial, economic,and technical trends all point to a China whose economic growth is dependent not just on its low-cost appeal but on its accelerating ability to enhance and build upon the innovations of others.

The second reason cited is increased competitiveness, especially from China. The article points out that the pace of industrialization in China over the past 10 years or so has been little short of phenomenal.
