...economists advise Southeast Asian companies to specialize in niche goods and services that China cannot duplicate - and to do it fast. "Given the shifting nature of China's comparative advantage, Asian countries may best re-orientate their economies towards sectors that cannot be easily replicated by China," wrote Kit Wei Zheng, a Singapore-based economist with Citigroup, in a 2009 report entitled "Who Benefits Most From China's Domestic Demand...
