Huawei designs its own ARM based chips and modems that BBK and Xiaomi do not. Unrelated: India and SEA are where a good majority of these BBK phones are sold. And BBK tapped into the PPI scheme of India to start manufacturing in India >

China does have some of the best worker protection laws. The protests we’re observing now, including the one in the iphone city, are against the government. Let’s not conflate the two.

UPI has been in widespread use since 2017. It surely wasn’t developed “silently” during the covid lockdown Vegetable vendors have been using this QR code payments thing even pre-UPI (2016) with paytm (that works only with paytm)
