My comment was about a single factory. In theory all the factories could import all their inputs, because the commodity that is causing the Dutch disease will offset it, but on the micro-level, a company can take advantage of a low average salary yet high costs market that is characteristic of the disease.

So an upstart smartphone manufacturer could take advantage of the high local salaries to manufacture a local brand of overpriced smartphones solely for the local market?

I'm not sure that's viable nor helpful as an idea when you can just import iPhones from China.
