Big power such as a global, established power is strong enough to grow bigger to be even more powerful and dominating while the little people amidst their struggle to survive could only manage to produce local products. Their efforts to adapt global products are not successful enough; their products ended up as some kind of museum artifacts to be stored and enjoyed as part of a memory...
Could global producers let small producers to develop their existing products without suing them to the court?
They, after all, are only scraping for tidbits from the big power who is getting stronger and bigger every day.
