Golden opportunity for everyone, they can sell (and indeed do sell) whatever they make to China where demand for many kinds of imports is rising rapidly. Also raw materials like timber and wool. They also benefit from higher markets for their imports in other regional countries that trade a lot with China such as Malaysia and Japan.

Mostly they have to specialise in making things that China doesn't, not in toys and cheap consumer goods.

The reason they can export aluminum or granite, or corn, or anything, and sell it for less but make more is because it costs them next to nothing to mine, produce, plant or harvest things. Then, we buy them because we do not want to pay more for the item made.... someplace else.
