Dulu industri teknologi dari Jerman seperti Gruendig, Telefunken, Leica, jatuh karena Sony, Toshiba, Canon, Nikon dll. dari Jepang. Kemudian Jepang disaingi oleh Korea Selatan seperti Samsung, Hyundai dll. Sekarang Korea Selatan sudah mulai mendapat saingan dari Tiongkok.
Quote dari majalah The Economist: European shipbuilding into bankruptcy, China is now threatening to do much the same to South Korea’s industry.
