Abstract: Abstract The China shock (massive, often sudden, and sharp increases in imports of cheap Chinese products) has affected many industries producing tradable products in a large number of low-income countries, including those in SSA (Zafar, 2007; Villoria, 2009). Part III of this book ( Chapters 6 and 7 ) explores the issue of how such industries in low-income counties cope with the China shock, based on the case studies of a electric fittings cluster in Pakistan and a leather shoe cluster in Ethiopia. These two cases are intriguing examples of the China shock being successfully overcome by multifaceted innovations.
