IPhone isn't made but assembled in China, right now China is losing businesses to Vietnam, Indonesia, India as we speak, the zero covid policy and power tussle among cabinet member has affected a lot of businesses, people lost jobs, many flee the country for better economy and fair, equity, transparent business environment. no more business as usual but only face-saving businesses. there are standard indigenous companies that make better phone in China, many are just copied from other famous world brands, the technology isn't that local, most are reverse engineered. China is still a million miles behind US in tech. Infinix or Techno is not even in the market in CHINA, never heard of it in the Chinese market, I guess someone coined that brand name and start production through a phone company in the country, Oppo and Vivo are one of the best brands.

Whats the difference between made and assembled? Hmm Semantics, its the same, get used to it .

Your iphone that you re bragging with is a chinko product, welcome to globalization.

Don't get this confused I know that Chinese are really trying but this are cheap product the least can afford when it comes to build quality you never I mean you can never compare Chinese products with European/north America

In U.S, many Americans just like Nigerians prefer Chinese products to theirs. Many companies are closed in U.S and West and prefer to import from China because of high cost of labour and production in their countries.
China produce high quality products depending on the needs and wants of the country's of the dealers.
Right now more than 5000 U.S companies in the U.S have bwen sold out to Chinese, China is slowly buying U.S. Despite being highly indebted by China with trillions of dollars.
You need to know more abt the current global businesses.

Smartphone - China.


Tv - China.


Refrigerator - China.


Laptop - China.

But tecno in the top 10 is not a suprise because that company is really trying. The problem with china is, they manufacture the best and use in their country, then manufacture sub-standard to export thereby giving them bad name. Take OPPO for example.

I can relate to what you wrote.
All the Phones I have ever used are "Made In China for China Use" Phones. All I do is just switch to the English Language Option, and I rarely have a Problem with any of my Phones. Coincidentally, I also work for a Company that sells Phones. I always tell our Customers that "Made for Domestic Use" China Phones are far superior to the so-called Global Versions which are always susceptible to having Issues.
No Country reserves the better/best Versions of their Products for Foreign Consumers!

Having said the above, please don't smuggle Techno into the List. I have seen the List. Techno is not on the List. It is not yet a Global Company. It is a Chinese Company not known in China, and specifically founded for Developing Nations. No Store in China sells a Techno Product because it is simply not known there.

The biggest trade partner of China is US! Followed by the West! US INVESTS IN TALENTED PEOPLE! that is why ther so many chinese, Indians and Nigerians and other national from other countries! breaking big in Us! US represents the world in term of the people living ther! So if US falls the world falls too Chinese govt only employs Chinese!

Saying the world fall's if the US falls is wrong.
Empires rise and fall, it has been like so since the beginning. The world doesn't fall with them, instead a new power rises.

Check you home appliances, how many are written MADE IN USA? You are so daft to make this statement"if the USA falls, the world falls". China are USA biggest partners. without china,USA will fall and without USA, China will still stand. Iphones are assembled in china, China are the biggest importer of aircraft from US. USA banned huawei and they are still among the top 10 manufacture and exporter of smartphone. China are the second largest users of iphone after japan in Asia. If china ban iphone today, iphone becomes another huawei. If china falls your country(nigeria)or even africa falls because your country always run to china for loans. How much has the USA given you? the company that manufactures iphone chipset has many chinese workers and since the USA is sophisticated, why not produce the chipset themselves?


"If the US falls,the world falls'' is the most stupid statement of all time.

To correct some fact you got wrong here and this is not to discredit the advances the chinese have made since they opened up their market to the world.

The chinese of course manufacture 60% of the world's goods and are also the world's largest market which makes them very significant to any country/company looking to make a profit.

When it comes to product design, especially for western companies and organisations, the chinese have little to no impact as they are only designed to be an assembly line. Take for instance the iPhone and Tesla cars. And for the homegrown Chinese wares, it's one of two things when it comes to design;

1. They hire an expatriate mostly from the west to help, or

2. they steal a design and make many copies of theSame and claim as theirs.

Besides, the USA alone spends more than twice the Chinese does on R&, just nsme the industry, the west leads.

Silently making impact.

Furthermore, the americans are anxiously looking to take production out of China to other cheap locations like India and veitnam necause the cost of production is becoming more expensive in China and too much of theft of intellectual property and extensive government subsidies for homegrown companies which hampers proper competition and stiffle out competitors from the market.

So also, if and when the west finally takes out their production line out of China, there will be crisis as the unemployment figures will rise amd pose another challenge to the Communist party.

Another leverage the west has over China is in the area of micro chips which are the bedrock of any technological advances and innovation. Without this control, the Chinese will still be weakened before the whims of the west.

Another problem is in the demographics of both countries. While their birth rates are falling rapidly, it's worse for the Chinese and a majority of the population is aged and with the downward trend in marriage and child bearing, the noose is around the Chinese and they will soon start loosing vibrant youngsters as their geriatric number explodes.

Thank you sir for this. where is the mighty roman empire today? where is the great egytian kingdom today?that enslaved the now mighty isreal for 400years? When the US falls the world stands and china or russia would take over. There are some people you don't argue with.

European and USA companies hardly manufacture their own products anymore, manufacturing is outsourced to china

Blazebond:
This is what the U.S.A and western Europe don't ever want to happen,this is their biggest fear,their business are being bought over by the Chinese and Arabs,their dominance have been smashed away,the next thing would be the rejection of the u.s dollar as a means of international transaction,that would signal the total collapse of u.s and western European dominance,it would be the end of the u.s empire.

Note that Western terrorist organizations like the CIA, MOSAD, MI6, etc are everywhere online and offline looking for people like you who are either afrocentric or happy about China or Russia or other supposed "unfriendly" nations.

Their goal is to blackmail or bait into a crime, or jail people like you. Be careful! It would be black people (educated slaves) that would do the dirty job on their behalf. With their huge resources, they can bribe and induce anybody, including your landlord, landlady, friends or brothers or sisters to get you...... anybody.

Go to www.africason.com and read the article: how the CIA and MI6 lure innocent people to commit terrorism.

I am speaking from experience. Beware brother!

How nice could it be, if Nigeria Brands can as well take the leads.

don't u have to start the companies first before u talk of brands taking leads?

Very sad seeing black man argue like slaves. Black man is forever condemned to slavery. Very sad situation, very very sad.

Have you?

A big Congratulations to Tecno and other brands who made the list. This is a great development.

China has always proven itself as a home of Technology. I give it to Chinese when it comes to Technology and innovation. One of the reasons they will never submit to the US

Other countries should not rest on their oars because this is a great challenge. Congratulations to China.

You have to look at the long term benefits. Buhari is a crook but I will always support what he did when he closed the borders. The price of food items was always going to rise whether he closed the border or not. But prior to closing the border, 90% of the rice consumed in Nigeria was imported. The local rice was substandard, poorly refined and filled with stones. When they first closed the border, people were horrified at the thought of having to buy those stone filled local rice. I know I was. But currently, I still buy the local rice but now can't distinguish it from foreign rice. That's how good it's become within the span of two years. Yes, it's the Nigerians who cause the inflation by setting insane price for their food items knowing full well that people would have no choice but to buy them. There's also the problem of lack of regulatory bodies for this kind of stuff. If there was such a body that set the price in favour of it's affordability, wicked Nigerians wouldn't set such a high price with the goal of scoring a huge profit.

Fact remains, if high tarrifs were levied on imported cars, there would be massive development in our local automobile industry and would also lead to many more springing up. That is the way it was done in China

You don't have to set up regulatory body in terms, that's a socialist mindset, they end up fix pricing the system an advantage to the consumers but at detriment to the farmers.
Let the forces be made open to demand and supply.... Excess supply will crash high price sale.
While Nigeria has improved on quality of our rice, we are still yet to meet our quantity demands as it's still expensive......

Pick one, high inflation or cheap prices.....

Your last paragraph, go read how China suffered for it, the poverty and mass starvation, how millions died based on this policy. Can Nigeria endured that now? Also know that the economy dynamics has changed, there's higher competition in the open world market! Higher quality country and higher chain to break into.
How many years will it take us to expertise our products and compete in the international stage while we still suffer the flinching bite of inflation?

Isn't this a chicken and egg scenario. You can't increase the price and expect increased supply. Rice is not a luxury item. Even if you increase production, you'd still not get an increase in sales if the price stays the same.

Have you?

so what does ur company manufacture, for it to become an international brand?

Bobbiee:

Who's effecting the increasing price? These are the farmers, the rice millers and transporters.
If the price is increased there's increase profit and capitalize investment in the whole value chain, this in turn would spur more growth and production as more farmers will key into it or improve their output, also more rice mill will spring up and so the entire value chain which eventually would reduce the price(due to increasing efficiency)...

The farmers, miller's and transporters should set price themselves. If you want cheaper prices then government should subsidize cost of production like providing cheaper/free fertilizers, cheap storage facilities, tax breaks and other incentives for milling plants, infrastructure for cheap means of bulk transport like rail.

The worst thing to do is to regulate price fixin. It's consumer friendly but it cost the producers, reduce the farmers profit, stunt the growth in the whole value chain and in the long run kills production and eventually recycle back to higher prices that you try to avoid.

Let the regulation be open to market dynamics

How I wish Nigeria could emulate china and up their production game

Seconded..

China is really dominating, many countries can't keep up.

sukkot:
china has officially taken over the world


but we all knew this

this why usa is starting tht taiwan war with them cuz china wants to cut usa off with this BRICS thing but usa no wan gree

Well USA has always wanted to be on top and in control, seeing that other countries are taking that away and stepping up, it's threatening sometimes and they can't keep calm and fold their hands

Ayanfet:
Most Chinese brands and product are fake. Compare their life span to what's obtainable in German, USA or Russian products. Interns of durability and quality Chinese tech are weak. Most of their plasma Tv, refrigerator and others are not of high quality and durability.

Not all of them, besides no matter how much the critics get or how much they ridicule Chinese products, they're still going to be at the top because they're always working towards that

Asura:

Empires rise and fall, it has been like so since the beginning. The world doesn't fall with them, instead a new power rises.

Exactly, besides what's wrong in sharing power,you can't be the top dog forever,I get the need for competition and all that but then doing it the right way is a brilliant way of acquiring power without realizing it, that's where partnerships comes in and China has partnered with a lot of enterprises, that's why they're mostly mentioned in the world

Abiodunspectre:
China ranks first in the world in the production and sales of consumer electronics. As an important global manufacturing base for consumer electronics, China is home to the manufacturing bases and R& D centers of most of the world's major electronics production companies and OEM. About 80% of the world's personal computers and over 65% of smartphones and color TVs are produced in China.


Chinese brand shine in the world, evidenced by lists of this GTB. Among them, the "2022-2023 Top 10 CE Brands" list is occupied by Chinese brands such as Huawei, TCL, Haier, BOE, Hisense, Xiaomi, Midea, Lenovo, Gree and Skyworth. What's more, Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, VIVO, OPPO, Honor, Realme, Motorola, Huawei, and TECNO are the 2022-2023 Global Top 10 Smart Phone Brands, more than half of which are from China.


The "2022-2023 Global Top 10 TV Brands" list includes Samsung, LG, TCL, Hisense, Changhong, Xiaomi, SONY, Skyworth, CHiQ, and Sharp, and Chinese brands account for half. Awards released concurrently are the "2022-2023 Global Top 50 CE Brands", the "2022-2023 International Innovation Enterprise Brand Award" and so on.


This year's selection evaluates the participating brands from four dimensions, industry popularity, global strategic layout, influence on international market, and product innovation. In combination with data and jury evaluation and online voting, an authoritative, professional and fair award list finally comes out.

The innovative capabilities of China's consumer electronics have been demonstrated by numerous "world's-first" consumer electronics products launched in recent years, such as the mobile phone with foldable flexible screen, the multi-screen TV, the 8K laser TV with a rollable screen, the 4K 240Hz curved gaming monitor and the 5G laptop.


TCL won three individual awards in this selection, showing its super strength in the display field. The eye-catching new product TCL 4K Mini LED TV C845 won the "Gold Award for New Generation Display Technology". By fine-tuning the amount of light, mini-LED backlight technology can improve the black contrast that traditional LEDs are not good at and the powerful quantum dot technology can improve color richness, saturation and gamut to a higher level to bring exceptionally powerful and precise control of brilliantly bright and deeply dark areas of the image, delivering unparalleled depth and dimension. C845 has obtained the industry-leading IMAX Enhanced certification and is equipped with a series of core black technologies with high refresh rate and low latency for users to experience viewing with top sound quality and smooth games at home.


The TCL QD-Mini LED Smart Screen X11 won the "Award for Innovative Mini LED Display of the Year". It adopts the QD-Mini LED display technology, which combines the advantages of LCD and OLED. It upgrades the traditional surface light source to a pixel-level point light source and presents higher brightness, color gamut and lifespan than OLED while achieving ultra-high contrast. So it is the real next-generation large-screen display technology. The TCL NXTPAPER 12 Pro, which won the "Award for Innovative Eye Protection Technology of the Year", uses multi-layer eye protection paper-like display technology to retain natural colors, filter harmful blue light, and maintain excellent visual effects. In addition to excellent visual performance, NXTPAPER technology also enables users to enjoy a comfortable tactile experience when writing, drawing or taking notes on a paper-like screen.
