you can have the greatest tech in the world, but that won't help you if you can't market your product properly. I've never even heard of any of these brands, yet I'm actually an avid fan of chinese breakthrough tech in many areas, and have absolutely no problem supporting the Chinese tech industry.
But almost all of them have one flaw in common; they don't know how to build a brand and market to western consumers, which is where a lot of the revenue is found. This seems to apply whether we're talking about cheap consumer electronics, specialized digital equipment (in my particular case, audio processing equipment), or cars.
- Scoundreller 7y agoUsually it takes a few decades. But there were times that Samsung and Toyota were unknowns. I think China’s problem is the Western belief that their tech products are built to spy first and perform second. And that primary functionality could just be removed for the western market.
- alexgmcm 7y agoAlso the anti-Chinese practices - my next cellphone would definitely be a Huawei P30 Pro if it wasn't for the fact you can't use Google Play Store etc. with it anymore. I'm not sure who's winning these trade wars, but the consumer is losing.
- vikramkr 7y agoThey aren't doing very much to assuage fears about spying. The west doesn't fear that because they're chinese or asian (we have no problem trusting Japanese products for example) - the fear is because China has an authoritarian government with very close links with industry and state run businesses.
