So you're telling me that only their appliances are made in China. Last I checked, 100% of their shoes and bicycles were made in China. Most of their clothes are made in Latin American countries. What are you smoking?
No, I'm telling you that you can't read, here's the quote again: there are certain areas (like small appliances) where the Chinese have taken over the entire industry
Notice the words "certain areas" meaning more than one (hence the plural) market nitch, then the parenthetical "like small appliances" offering that up as an example of one of those plural areas. Only anybody smoking anything here is the guy that doesn't understand how the letter S turns a noun into nouns.
