China has become the world's largest exporter in just 10 years. Strong production capacity and a complete industrial system have given China's manufacturing sector a unique competitive advantage.
China has 39 industrial categories made up of 191 sub-categories and 525 sub-sub-categories, and is the only country in the world that has all industrial categories included in the United Nations' International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities.
While Chinese goods remain popular around the world, China's manufacturing sector is undergoing active transformation and upgrading, and is moving away from providing only "cheap" and "low-end" products.

The Haier brand had the world's largest market share in white goods in 2011 for the third straight year.
Lenovo has overtaken Dell as the world's second largest PC vendor by shipments, and Huawei has surpassed Ericsson as the world's largest telecom equipment vendor by sales.
