China dominates in manufacturing
China's superior infrastructure led to India losing its bid to build Intel's new $2.5 billion factory.
A decision by Intel to build a $2.5 billion chip factory in China represents a key loss for India, which won't likely see any chip factory projects from major companies this year due to its poor infrastructure.
