- Robelius 7y agoA few decades ago, China becoming a global superpower just was not going to happen.
- fatjokes 7y agoNever say never. A significant amount of the developing world has already embraced Huawei's network equipment. Beyond that, I think Huawei is the #3 mobile phone seller in Europe (behind Apple and Samsung) and #2 in Canada.

- luckydata 7y agoIf you look at the comment I replied to, they were talking about replacing the Apple store with some China-grown service. It's not happening, China is not in any way culturally compatible with the rest of the world enough to pull that off, just like Japan never managed to do that (and they were WAY more westernized than China is now). Chinese businesses just fundamentally don't understand what western cultures want, they can just build cheap gadgets. For the next let's call it 35 years it's simply not going to happen.
