Multinational corporations are at "war without gunshots" in western China. This area has become the “market of the present” which possesses enormous purchasing power. This is the electronics market in Chengdu, which is about three times the size of Korea’s Yongsan Electronics Shopping Town, filled with stores selling products from IBM, Intel, Sony, and other international IT companies.
