...America's biggest single source of consumer electronics. That came at some cost to American jobs but at a big cost to countries that compete directly with China, such as its Asian neighbors and Mexico.

Some Dell notebook computers from China, for example, are made by a Taiwan-owned company called Compal using Taiwanese circuitry, a U.S.-made Intel chip and a screen from Korea. All those imported parts explain why, despite a trade surplus of $123 billion with the U.S. last year, China's worldwide surplus...

...telephony--IBM through its Lotus Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing product, and Microsoft through Windows XP on the desktop, Windows CE for wireless and its Windows and Live Communications Servers. Many analysts believe that when the dust clears, VOIP hardware will become a commodity, made by a firm like Dell, while a few communications companies will have their hand in the software pie--and that Microsoft and IBM may be calling the shots over the long term...
