I think the Chinese policy of price competitiveness will change and service and technology will take over. pricing in China at the moment might be low but this advantage will disapeer over time and when you add cost's like shipping then alternatives will appear. In the future the companies that will dominate the market will be the ones that can offer a clear benefit to the customer and service. You might have the best designed truck in the world at the lowest possible price but if there is no service back up it's no good.

The company that can bring these to the table will do well
