My personal view is not to struggle at the same place, rather in today's economy the best is to have a Blue Ocean Strategy. Of course the choice would depend on the SWOT/TOWS matrix.

Five Forces Theory of Porter - Substitutes
Pradip Kumar, Educator, India, Member
Well, the Chinese (for that matter any country) entering into a market (read country) is not a substitute. A substitute is a product or sometimes product category that might be used as replacement for the product of the industry. For example, polycarbonate is a substitute for glass eyeglasses used in spectacles; nylon bags used in grains transportation are substitute of jute bags.
