Careful, china is not asia. Certain ASIC (applications Specific Integrated Circuits, aka chips) are pretty standard, and it's like 4 speed manual transmission, Muncie, New Process or Borg Warner, they all work equally well. China is not Singapore, the Phillapines, Korea, Taiwan or Japan. Most of the high tech industry is in fact not in China from what I understand of it.
