Aggressively countering the competition in technology? Is there a better way? TIA
Wie in den entwickelten, etablierten Märkten fragen auch chinesische Verarbeiter anspruchsvolle Anwendungen und Technologien verstärkt nach. So bilden sich auch in China Hochtechnologiestandorte aus. Die wachsenden Ansprüche dieser Hightech-Kunden lassen sich immer öfter nur mit europäischer Maschinentechnik erfüllen. Lokale Anbieter stellen sich offensiv dem Technologiewettbewerb, müssen aber aktuell empfindliche Auftragseinbrüche hinnehmen.

…to compete effectively and efficiently
Local suppliers must implement real improvements in their manufacturing technologies to compete effectively and efficiently.
[(to survive in severe competition for profitable orders)]
Why so? -because verbs imply more energy than nouns; but I do not insist.
