Competitive Advantages of Multinational IT Companies

Although the multinational IT companies in Chinese market become more and more difficult, especially after the government issued some regulations about controlling IBM, Oracle and EMC development in China, we cannot overlook the competitive advantages of multinational IT companies. The above three companies are deeply rooted in the Chinese market and they have a 20 year long-term relationship with Chinese major industries. These multinational IT companies can succeed in China not only because of their high quality, but also because of their strong IT structure stability. If Chinese local companies replaced the multinational IT companies, some major industries in China could face to the vulnerability of IT structure and a costly changing system. This essay will illustrate the multinational IT companies’ competitive advantages (and they still cannot lose their market in recent years in China) Can you explain the word in parenthesis in a different way?
