Executive SummaryChina has emerged as a low cost manufacturing destination for consumer durables, catering to both domestic andexport markets. 54% of the production in China (for the six categories under consideration) caters to the export market.Domestic sales in India are a miniscule proportion of that in China and export volumes are not even 1% of that in China
China has also emerged as anexport hub with many domestic andforeign players using the low-cost facilities in China to cater to global
markets. 54% of the total production in China for the six categories underconsideration are exported. The undervalued currency has aided Chinasgrowth as an export base
In comparison, export volumes in India are not even 1% of that in Chinaacross these six categories. Domestic sales in India are a smallproportion of that in China in many categories
While for some product categories like televisions, India has a costadvantage in low end segments, consumer prices in China are at
minimum 15 25% cheaper when compared to prices in India (for similarfeatures), leading to a higher demand base in China
Also, the Indian consumer durable market is mostly dominated by MNCswhile China has a large number of home grown domestic players
A large number of global players are targeting emerging markets to fuelgrowth. Due to increasing price competitiveness, outsourcingmanufacturing to low cost destinations has gained momentum
China has emerged as one of the most popular low-cost manufacturingdestinations ; It accounts for 72% of the global air conditioner production,47% of refrigerator production, 45% of television production, 35% ofwashing machine production and over 52% of mobile phone production
Most major global players in the consumer durables segment have setup their manufacturing operations in China
Key reasons for Chinese dominance in the global consumer durablemarket are two-fold:
Macroeconomic factors and policy initiatives that have provided
impetus to overall manufacturing in China
Production specific factors which have provided China with a costadvantage that has aided its growth as a export base for consumerdurables

DECREASING ATTRACTIVENESS OF CHINA
OPPORTUNITY IN INDIA
RecommendationsDecreasing attractiveness of China as a manufacturing destination in recent years is an opportunity for India. In order toleverage this opportunity it is critical to develop a conducive manufacturing environment with focus on componentmanufacturing in India
The Chinese Government has started to shift its focus fromexport driven growth to growth led by domestic consumption -A number of export subsidies and tax rebates have beenremoved. Preferential tax rate for foreign companies has beenabolished
Domestic market in China is saturated with high penetrationlevels
Currency appreciation, shortage of skilled labour, rising wage
inflation and increasing real estate costs are eroding Chinesecost competitiveness and hence export competitiveness
Further technology development by providing tax exemptions forR&D centers and VC funding, promote tie-ups between industry andtechnology institutes and encourage technology transfer through FDI
Develop SMEs by promoting cluster development and creation ofcommon service centers for use by SMEs. Change incentives for SSIsto be time bound rather than turnover based and create technologyacquisition funds for SMEs
Rationalize tax policy through removal of tax for interstate
movement of goods and removal of location based incentives Incentivize domestic value addition by promoting local sourcing.
Increase the demand base by incentivizing exports
Develop vendor base and raw material supply by providing prioritysector treatment to component manufacturing; Provide support forcapital intensive component manufacturing facilities ( Rent-to-ownfacilities etc)
Develop SEZs by promoting large multi-product SEZs, enacting
flexible labour laws and tax exemption for sale in DTA
Other recommendations include lowering financing rates, reducingturnaround time by ensuring round the clock customs clearance andimplementing automated cargo processing
Each of these are discussed in detail in the later sections of the report
Rising demand from Indian consumers fuelled by growingpopulation, increasing incomes and changing lifestyles
There exists a huge untapped domestic market in India alongwith the potential to cater to export markets
Large availability of skilled manpower that can be employed forhigh-end research and development activities

US
Large Players in Domestic MarketCountry
Rising per capita incomes, low penetration levels and saturated marketsin developed countries have led to a shift in focus towards emerging
markets Product quality improvements in recent years have also lead to longer
product lives, thereby reducing the replacement demand in developedmarkets
Also in case of toys, developed economies which were traditionallystrong markets for toys and games, are experiencing falling birth ratesleading to an inevitable shrinking of the target segment
Many existing manufacturers have rationalized the number of plants andoutsourced production to third party manufacturers in low-cost countrieslike China
Other trends covering all 6 categories include:
Fall in unit prices in real terms
Industry characterized by moderate technological advancements.Exception includes televisions where demand has risen due tointroduction of the radical technology like LCD
Few large players occupy dominant positions in the marketmainly due to the scale driven nature of the industry.
Manufacturers with scale are typically in a better position tonegotiate with suppliers on price and also be in a better position toreduce transport and logistics cost per unit sold

Representative Product Explanation
TELEVISION
India is cost-competitive with China in the low end, especially CRT TV segmentbecause most of domestic demand in India originates from this segment ; Hencemanufacturers are able to achieve scale benefits
Continued price cuts in the CRT TV segment and margin pressures has ledplayers to increasingly shift focus towards high-end televisions
For high-end LCD TVs, India does not produce LCD panels and most of thepanel requirements is met through imports. LCD TV sales are still low in India toachieve significant scale economies
MOBILES
Consumer price levels in China and India are almost the same with China faringbetter in a few cases. This is mainly because mobile component imports do notattract customs duty in India and freight costs as a percentage of consumer price(per product) is low
In the low-end category of phones, India is competitive due to economies ofscale on account of a large demand base
A number of players are developing low end phones with sub USD 30 prices,(specifically for emerging markets like India) leading to a downward trend inmobile phone prices

Refrigerator is not included in the average rate comparison. The comparison was donesolely based on the litre capacity as a specification. A similar capacity refrigerator inChina would have a host of value added features such as LCD touch screen, higherfreezer to refrigerator ratio etc and hence be priced higher than in India

India
Trends in Average Price LevelsWhile average price levels for Air conditioners are lower in China, price levels are higher for refrigerators and washingmachines due to consumer preferences for high end models; Overall, this industry is characterized by high pricingpressures and hence the need to minimize costs
Consumer preferences have changed across both India and China. The product mixhas shifted towards fully automatic and higher capacity washing machines
Average unit price in both India and China has been rising over the last few yearson account of consumer preference for newer features
Washing Machine
Average refrigerator prices in India during 2002-07 have remained stagnant ;Growth has been mainly driven by increasing volumes
A shift in consumer preferences towards high end refrigerators in China has led toincrease in average price levels
Refrigerator
While 1.5 ton ACs are the most popular variant being sold in India, 1 ton ACsremain the most popular variant in China, leading to lower average prices in China(due to cooler climatic conditions in China)
Prices of Room Air Conditioners (RAC) in India dropped in 2005 due to FTA withThailand ( duty rates were reduced by 75%)
Change in consumer preferences (during the period 2005-07) towards split AC withbetter price realizations (compared to conventional window AC) has led to anincrease in average prices

Trends in Average Price LevelsAverage price levels in televisions are rising due to consumer preference for high end models in both countries. Due tolower tax rates and large players like Nokia setting up manufacturing units ( both for serving domestic market andexports) prices of entry level models have reduced significantly in India
Fall in prices across both India and China has led to volume growth.Prices have fallen by over 21% in India during the period 2004-07compared to 4% fall in prices in China
Sales volume in India is dominated by low end phones. Due to lower taxrates and large players like Nokia setting up manufacturing units, both forserving domestic market and exports, prices of low end phones havereduced
Mobile
Consumer preference has changed for both India and China. Product mixhas shifted towards high-end models such as plasma display panels(PDP), liquid crystal displays (LCD), digital light processing (DLP), high-definition television (HDTV) and flat-panel TVs
On account of this, average unit price in both India and China has beenrising since the last few years

Penetration LevelsPenetration levels in India are significantly lower compared to China. To generate rural demand, the ChineseGovernment (starting December 2007) has been providing farmers a subsidy of 13% for purchasing householdappliances such as refrigerators
In TVs and washing machines, urban penetration in China is close to100%. Urban demand is expected to see an uptrend due to consumer
shift to high end variants like LCD TV and fully automatic washingmachines
To generate demand in rural sector, the Chinese Government (startingfrom December 2007) has started providing farmers a subsidy of 13%for purchasing household appliances such as refrigerators
Demand for TV in the Indian rural market is growing faster than urbanmarket. This is on account of low level of penetration in rural market andfalling operational costs (cable expenses)
Chinese players are exploring the rural market through a low-cost brandCombine, while players in India (like LG) have introduced lower pricedproducts to tap into the rural opportunity in India. Indian players likeGodrej are innovating to design refrigerator models, priced as low as 60 -70 USD to cater to the rural market

Growth of Mobile Phones in IndiaMobile phones in India have followed a different growth trajectory in comparison to other product categories ; Fallingusage costs has led to explosive growth rates in the mobile phone industry
India is the worlds second largest market accounting for 8.4% of theworld market in mobile phones
Despite high growth in mobile phones, tele-density in India is 56.93% inurban areas and 7.3% in rural areas indicating huge untapped potential
India clocked a volume growth rate of 290% during 2003 - Incomingmobile calls were made free of charge in J anuary 2003 - As a resultusage costs reduced and hence volumes increased
High growth in mobile phones in India is mainly led by low end phones

Mobile Handset Manufacturing - Key Players and StakeholdersOEMs, ODMs and EMS firms are the key decision makers for setting up manufacturing base in a country. Componentmanufacturers usually follow suit. Currently all the major OEM and EMS players have begun their operations in India
OEM/ Handset Vendor
Firms like Nokia, Motorola,Samsung who are the brandowners and coordinate the end-toend value chain
EMS
Firms like Flextronics and Elcoteqthat design, test and manufacture
Contract manufacturers for OEMs
ODM
Rapid pace of new modelintroductions has led toemergence of ODMs
ODMs design and contractmanufacture for OEMs For example Nokia used BenQ to
design some of its handset modelsfor the Chinese market
Outsource PCBfabrication, assembly
and testing
Use ODM vendors to carry out handsetreference design and manufacturing, inorder to plug in gaps in R&D and design
Component manufacturers
These firms manufacture thedifferent components likePCBs, ICs, plastic parts,battery, LCD display
At present a number of major EMSfirms like Elcoteq, Flextronics,
J abil, Solectron manufacture out ofIndia
All the major handsetvendors like Nokia,
Motorola, Samsung andLG have set up base in
India
Some of the componentmanufacturers like AT&S (PCB),Molex, Hical (magnetics), Tyco
(Connectors), Perlos, Aspocomphave set up operations in India
Decision to set up operations in a location
depends on multi ple criteria:
Proximity to handset vendors, EMS playersand ODMs - generally pulledclose to the
handset manufacturing facilities Scale of investment required and potential forbuilding economies of scale
Labour arbitrage potential For plastic partsand final assembly India has a high labourarbitrage while for LCD we have none
Also depends on demand for component fromother electronic applications

GDP GrowthOver the last 18 years, China has outperformed India significantly in its GDP growth. While growth in India has been ledby services sector, growth in China has been manufacturing led
China has outperformed India in its growth during the last 18 years. Thiscan be mainly attributed to economic reforms initiated by China in late1970s compared to India which started its reforms in early 1990s
Since early 90s, the gap between Indian and Chinese GDP has beenwidening. However, both countries have shown growth rates significantlyhigher than the international average
While share of manufacturing in Chinas GDP has increased from28.86% in1990 to 34.12% in 2007, in India it has been stagnant at 15 16% (16.3% in 2007) ; Hence, while Chinas growth can be attributedmainly to its manufacturing sector, services has been the key growthdriver for India (accounted for 52.37% of the GDP in 2007 in contrast to
38.8% for China)
To understand the manufacturing led growth in China and itscompetitiveness in comparison to India, it is important to analyze variousfactors which have driven the manufacturing eco system in China. Thefollowing slides attempt to uncover the impact of these factors both inIndia and China

FDI InflowFDI inflows into manufacturing in China has led to technology transfer, vendor base development and adoption of bestpractices by Chinese firms
FDI has been one of the major growth drivers in China. Examiningtrends in FDI growth and GDP growth shows that the two are positivelycorrelated
FDI in China is concentrated in the manufacturing sector. In 200663.59% of total FDI inflow was in the manufacturing sector, with 12.96%being in the electronics sector . Other key benefits from FDI include:
FDI brought technology transfers which led to development of theChinese industry. For instance, Chinas semiconductor industrywas almost non-existent a decade back. However, China hasbeen able to successfully develop the industry through technologytransfers (mostly from Taiwanese FDI)
Government policies requiring foreign entities to source a certainproportion of their raw material supplies from domestic vendorsled to development of domestic supply chain. For instance, withregard to mobile phone manufacturing, Government policynecessitated OEMs to source 10% of their componentsdomestically
Transfer of best practices and management know-how fromforeign entities to domestic players
However, FDI inflows in China has seen a downward trend since 2005due to strict control over land supply and stringent Governmentregulations. Also, since most of the FDI is export oriented, decliningexport competitiveness of China is a dampener for FDI inflows

China - Top FDI DestinationChina has consistently been a top destination for FDI and has been hugely successful in attracting Chinese diaspora toinvest in China
China has been ranked as a leading investment destination since the lastthree years.. Key reasons for the high attractiveness of China as an FDIdestination are:
TAX INCENTIVES: China provided differential tax incentives to FIEs(Foreign Invested Enterprises) over domestic companies as listed below:
In contrast, effective corporate tax rate in India is 33.99% for domesticcompanies and 42.23% for branches of foreign companies
SUCCESS IN ATTRACTING DIASPORA: Another reason for high FDIinflows in China has been its success in attracting Chinese diaspora toinvest in China. Chinese diaspora accounted for 70 per cent of FDI flowsinto China, mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan
For instance, Hopewell Holdings Ltd. a Hong Kong based infrastructurefirm led by a Chinese expat has invested in a number of infrastructureprojects including toll roads and superhighway projects in China in theform of co-operative joint ventures between Hopewell and Chinesepartners
Incentives for Foreign Invested Enterprises
50% tax concession for a period ofthree years
Indirect tax sops by way of exemptionfrom value-added tax
Incentive for advanced technologytransfer
Two year tax holiday from the year ofprofit generation and 50% taxconcession for 3 years thereafter

Contribution of SEZs
Special Economic Zones (SEZ) were introduced in China in 1979-80 withan objective much wider than trade and investment promotion. The SEZframework was chosen as a dominant policy instrument to experimentwith foreign investment
The basic state policy was focused on formulation and implementation ofoverall reform and opening up the economy. This was first tested in afew SEZ pilot areasbefore being introduced elsewhere
The total area of the five major SEZs in China is less than 1% of thewhole country, but their GDP accounts for over 7% of Chinas GDP, afifth of the countrys trade, and one-fifth of FDI inflows; The rate ofgrowth in these zones has been double the national average
SEZs have been helpful for small and mid-sized entities which cannotafford to set up captive infrastructure facilities. They can house theirunits in SEZs and share costs
SEZs have still not been very popular in attracting manufacturing relatedinvestments in India
62% of the total formal approvals for SEZs are in the IT/ITES
sector

Tax Benefits at SEZsChina is withdrawing most of its tax incentives from 2008
In China, incentives offered to companies differ from zone to zone andare based on criteria like:
Number of years of operation Use of advanced technologies
Extent of exports
Type of industry etc
Having achieved a high export competitiveness, the ChineseGovernment is now trying to realign the Chinese economy from beingexport-driven to domestic market-driven. Hence, fiscal benefits offered
are being gradually withdrawn from 2008 For instance, enterprises in Chinese SEZs were eligible for VAT refunds
up to 17% on export sales until 2008. After 2008 the rate of refund hasdropped to a maximum of 10%
Tax laws to promote SEZs in India were made very attractive and weredirected mostly towards encouraging exports. Tax holidays offered inIndian SEZs are for up to a maximum period of 15 years as against 5years in China
In addition to exports, units operating in Indian SEZs are permitted tomake sales to the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) without payment ofSpecial Additional Duty (SAD), provided net foreign exchange earningsare positive. However, goods sold from SEZ to DTA are considered asimportby DTA, and full import duty is levied on such sale

InfrastructureWell developed infrastructure adds to the attractiveness of China as an investment destination. China currently spendsabout 10% of its GDP on infrastructure development, while India spends 5% of its GDP on infrastructure
Relatively well developed infrastructure in China is one of the reasons forhigher attractiveness of China than India
Lack of good infrastructure is considered to be a major impediment to thegrowth of manufacturing sector in India. Gains made through low labourcosts are often lost through bottlenecks in power supply andtransportation. Each of these factors increases cost of business in India
Estimates suggest that the infrastructure sector will require investment ofUSD 500 billion between 2007 and 2012 in India. China currentlyspends about 10% of its GDP on infrastructure development, while Indiaspends 5% of its GDP on infrastructure

China - scientific journals India - scientific journals
China - patents India - patents
Some of the parameters on which a countrys technological capabilitycan be judged are the number of patents and the number of publications
in scientific journals
In early 1990s, India was ahead of China in terms of publication ofscientific journals and high-technology exports but China has nowovertaken India. Currently China is far ahead of India on both theseparameters
China is the third most prolific patent filing country. The total number ofpatents filed in 2005 in China were 130384 of which about 50% werefiled by domestic applicants. The number of patents filed in India were
17466 with domestic applicants accounting for about 39%
Chinas technological dominance over India is evident from the fact thatwhile Chinese high-technology exports amounted to USD 214 billionaccounting for 30% of total exports in 2005, Indias high technologyexports amounted to USD 3.5 billion for 2005, accounting for 5% of totalexports

R&D SpendChina has the second largest R&D investment in the world; Having R&D centres in China helped multinationals buildrelationships with local and provincial Governments which in turn facilitates business
By the end of 2006, China overtook J apan and became the worldssecond largest investor in R&D after the US. In 2007 , two Chinesecompanies made it onto the list of the 1,000 biggest innovation spenders:PetroChina and China Petroleum & Chemical
China is estimated to have over 1500 foreign invested R&D centres.Majority of these R&D programmes are today wholly foreign-ownedenterprises. In comparison it is estimated that there are over 250 R&Dlabs operated by MNCs in India
Still most of the R&D activities in China is termed incremental and mostlydependent on technology transfer from foreign countries
Chinese firms are also learning from their foreign counterparts theimportance of R&D spending and some Chinese companies like Huawei,Lenovo, ZTE (Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment) and othershave begun to reinvest a higher percentage of their corporate profits intoR&D
A similar trend is being observed in India with major players setting upR&D centres in India (once domestic demand has reached a criticalthreshold) For instance Nokia has 3 R&D centres in India Bangalore,Mumbai and Hyderabad.

Forecast
Growth in domestic market along with Government incentives for highend technology development led to a surge in the R&D activities of multi-nationals present in China. This also encouraged R&D efforts tocustomize products for the local market
For instance, in 1999 Nokia set up a Product Creation Centre thatdesigned models specifically for the developing markets. All othermajor manufacturing companies in China also have R&D centres in
China
Another reason for most players having R&D centres in China is that ithelped them build relationships with local and provincial Governmentswhich in turn facilitates business. Companies with R&D presence inChina are known to get preferential treatment

LabourThough wage rates are lower in India than in China, China has an advantage due to higher labour productivity
While both India and China have the advantage of a large workingpopulation, labour productivity is higher and has shown a consistentuptrend in China
Though wage rates are lower in India, China scores over India in terms
of higher productivity (some attributed to longer working hours anduncompensated overtime)
For instance, Chinese workers have 10 hour shifts and may alsobe required to work on weekends in order to fill an order
Lax health insurance and other requirements also lead to lowercosts in China
Technological advancement coupled with transfer of knowledge on bestpractices is another reason for higher productivity in China
Indias multiple labour regulations have constrained the growth ofmanufacturing sector. Some include:
Stipulation of minimum wages and bonus and payment of socialsecurity benefits like PF
Offering protection and privileges to members of trade unions
Mandatory requirement for companies to obtain Governmentpermission for the retrenchment of staff in establishmentsemploying 100 or more people
The prevalence of such labour laws are construed to protect idleworkforce by many investors. Also, while labour laws in India requiremandatory compliance, labour laws in Chinese SEZs are considerablyrelaxed. Foreign investors are allowed to negotiate wages on receipt ofevery new order and also use hire and fire policies in these zones

Capital and Borrowing CostsChina has maintained a low interest rate regime which has spurred investments; State owned banks have been fundinginvestments through loans which in large parts are not repaid
Lending rates in China have always been lower compared to India,though the rates have been rising since the last few years (on account ofhigher inflation)
Lower cost of borrowings helps Chinese manufacturers to raise easycapital whereas higher cost of borrowing in India affect the profitability of
Indian manufacturers
Low interest rates boosts the manufacturing sector not only throughdirect lowering of capital costs, but also because of its multiplier effectwhich increases aggregate demand
Chinese banks have also had a history of high Non Performing Loans(NPLs). Chinas banking system is dominated by the Big Four stateowned banks. As of 2007, the ratio of NPLs in State owned banks was6.2%
For instance, the ICBC bank which is the largest of Chinas BigFour state owned banks reported that 19.1% of its portfolio consistsof NPLs as of 2004. After a series of capital injections andGovernment subsidized bad loan disposals, the proportion of NPLswere lowered to 4.69% ( 2.4% for Indian scheduled commercialbanks in 2007)
Thus in many instances State owned banks have been fundinginvestments through loans which in large parts are not repaid
In 1998, the Government injected RMB 270 billion into the bankingsystem. In 1999, about 20% of the existing NPLs were written off thebanks books and transferred to four asset management companies

Special Support to SOEsSpecial benefits given to State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) have aided their growth; There have been numerousinstances of Chinese Government aiding SOEs in inorganic growth and diversification into different business sectors,provinces and even foreign countries
Chinese Government has instituted a number of favourable policies tosupport development of large SOEs. This is done in numerous ways:
Some firms currently enjoy tax benefits and some receive
Government financial support in the form of loans and directinvestment
Government also encourages and aids SOEs in acquisitions,diversification into different business sectors, provinces, and evenforeign countries. For instance:
in February 2008 Chinalco, the state-owned aluminium producerteamed up with Alcoa (US) to buy 12% of the mining company Rio
Tinto (UK)
China Mobile, a cellular-phone operator acquired 89% stake inPaktel, a Pakistani operator
SOEs have been traditionally following the SEZ model with a strongexport focus. They also have better access to capital. In the past, about75% of bank loans in China were provided to SOEs
Since 2007, Chinese Government has decided to graduallyreduce the number of enterprises owned by the centralGovernment, mostly through mergers; In the process
Government intends to privatize or close down unprofitableSOEs focusing on creation of 30-50 globally competitiveSOEs by 2010
The intention is to create a few large conglomerates whichwould allow the Government to maintain control over what isperceived to be industries of strategic importance

Government Incentives to the Steel Industry (1/2)Chinese Government is estimated to have provided subsidies totalling USD 79.1 billion to the steel industry; This hascatapulted China as one of the top manufacturers of steel in the world and has transformed China from being a netimporter till 2005 to being the worlds largest exporter of steel
The Chinese steel industry has seen a four fold increase in steel capacitybetween 2000 and 2006. This has catapulted China as one of the topmanufacturers of steel in the world and has transformed China from
being a net importer till 2005 to being the worlds largest exporter of steel Reduction in steel prices has helped China become cost competitive in
consumer durables. Steel constitutes 25 40% of raw material costmany consumer durable players
This was mainly done through directed subsidies worth RMB 598 billion(USD 79.1 billion) between 2000 and 2007. Subsidies were in the form ofdirect cash transfer from the Government, tax concessions, tax refundsincluding VAT refunds, loan guarantees etc. Subsidies were provided
through central as well as provincial Governments Details of subsidies are not officially available and can only be estimated
through price-gap analysis as pure state controlled enterprises in Chinahave no disclosure requirements and Government holds a majority stakein most of the large steel companies either directly or throughsubsidiaries. Different forms of subsidies include:
Preferential loans and directed credit (RMB 130.9 billion / USD 17.3billion): Chinese Government provided subsidized loan grants to steel
producers. Leading Chinese steel producers have received between60% to 100% of their loans from state owned banks

Government Incentives to the Steel Industry (2/2)Incentives to steel industry were provided through cash grants, land use discounts, equity infusions etc
Equity infusions and/or debt-to-equity swaps (RMB 141 billion / USD18.6 billion): China regularly injects substantial cash subsidies into steelproducer acquiring additional equity shares in return. At least 37 differentChinese steel companies have benefited including all of the majorproducers
Land-use discounts (RMB 38.9 billion / USD 5.1 billion): ChineseGovernment provides lease agreements and then transfers land-userights to companies at little or no cost. Steel producers enjoy these land-use rights for no charge or for as little as USD 0.02 per square foot
Government mandated mergers (RMB 9.5 billion / USD 1.3 billion):Chinese Government owns most steel companies and hence it can
subsidize companies by transferring ownership of shares or facilitiesfrom one company to another at below-market or even at no cost. Forexample:
In J anuary 2005, Government of Hubei Province transferred 51%stake in Ercheng Iron & Steel, a local steel producer with aproduction capacity of 3 million tons per year, to another state-owned producer, Wuhan Iron and Steel at no cost ( thoughErcheng had been profitable)
In another instance, in May 2007, Baosteel, Chinas secondlargest steel producer acquired 48.5% stake in Xinjiang, worthmore than RMB 6 million, at no cost
Direct cash grants (RMB 2 billion / USD 258.6 million): Chinese steelproducers continue to report outright cash grants as well as grants forspecific steel construction projects on their balance sheets
Energy subsidies (RMB 275.5 / USD 27 billion): Most of these subsidieswere given in the form of coal. Subsidies for coal and electricity wereprovided by means of a two-tiered pricing system - A different price levelis applicable for select industries and companies ( lower than the marketdetermined price level)

Network Clustering generates significant production and distributionbenefits as it speeds both physical and information flows. This alsoextends just in timeprinciples to the entire supply chain
Firms cluster to take advantage of strong local demand, particularlythose deriving from related industries. Clustering brings out :
Significant direct cost reductions in transportation, inventory,infrastructure and line down time costs caused by broken links inthe supply chain
Indirectly, network clustering generates significant positive informationexternalities. These could be in the form of technology spill-over,
experience sharing to solve problems etc China has significant advantage in network clustering compared to India.
Most of its manufacturing facilities and SEZs are located near the eastcoastal region which also reduces the logistics cost. This was planned inadvance by Chinese Government
India on the other hand has manufacturing facilities scattered around thecountry, due to differential tax treatments provided by various stateGovernments

Export CompetitivenessChinese manufacturers (including those of consumer durables) have significantly benefited from its emergence as a lowcost hub for global manufacturing
During the last 5 years, exports as a percentage of GDP has increasedsignificantly in China. This clearly indicates the role of exports in Chinaseconomic growth
Between 2000 and 2006, Chinas share in world exports increased from4.7% to 10.8%, making it the number two exporter in the world
Export-processing trade ( the practice of assembling duty-freeintermediate inputs ) , which accounted for 51% in 2007, continues to bethe major form of external trade for China while export of Informationtechnology services has been credited with much of Indias economicgrowth in the past few years
China adopted an aggressive pro-export strategy through:
Attracting export oriented FDI through specific incentives ( like 50%reduction in corporate tax for foreign entities which export morethan 70% of their production etc)
Building SEZs and other export oriented units
Maintaining a low exchange rate (which acts as an export subsidy)

Currency ValuationUndervaluation of Yuan has provided Chinese exporters with significant competitive advantage
Chinese Yuan is one of the most undervalued currencies, which providesChinese exporters with an edge over exporters from other countries.Estimates of the extent of the undervaluation of Yuan range from8-55%
Since 1994, China maintained a policy of pegging its currency (Renminbior Yuan) to U.S. dollar at an exchange rate of 8.28 Yuan to the dollar
Since J uly 2005, China has allowed Yuan to appreciate steadily due tointernational pressures. This has partly reduced the exportcompetitiveness of China
While China has had a managed float exchange rate regime post 2005,significant undervaluation of Chinese Yuan( in the last decade) has beenone of the key reasons for Chinese exporters enjoying a competitive
advantageExchange Rates
