I think it's part of a broader trend of Chinese brands competing on equal terms.
Xiaomi and Huawei make phones that are quite comparable in quality to any of the established western and Korean brands; Xiaomi also apply their brand to a lot of very good electronic stuff that's very good value - electric scooters, air purifiers, smart home equipment etc. Rigol and Aneng make consistently good test equipment at a fraction of the price of western equivalents. Japanese brands used to dominate the radio control hobby industry, but they have been almost completely displaced by Chinese brands.
- wingworks 8y agoYep, there are a few great brands based in China who sell on AliExpress/Amazon, another is ugreen. Everything I've bought from them so far is high-quality gear at a great price. Just wish there was an easier way to find other brands like them, other than randomly buying stuff from diff brands and testing the products your self.
- njepa 8y agoI would argue Chinese brands have probably already overtaken non-Chinese ones at this point. Many of them just aren't really available outside of China. But if you started with a blank slate today and could buy either only Chinese or western products I think the Chinese ones would be the better deal for consumer products. And not necessarily only on price. As you said Xiaomi has a very appealing ecosystem that is hard to match.
