Chinese-made phones are calling the shots in Africa as they beat global giants Samsung and Apple::undefined
Honestly, I’m not surprised considering China has invested a lot into exploiting African resources. China saw a huge market most of the west was ignoring and like we exploited China, China will do the same to Africa.
We exploit Africa. China has begun to take up Western marketshare in Africa because they’re less exploitative and offer a better deal.
Compared to historical treatment of africa, no argument china is far better. Compared to modern treatment, nah they’re just the same as the rest of us bastards.
A comforting lie.
The IMF loots countries that take loans and in contrast China forgives loans. The reason Africa is aligning more with China is because they’re getting a better deal. If they really were just the same as the West then China wouldn’t be winning the continent.
Part of the reason also has to do with the fact that China will write loans for stupid crap when Western banks and the IMF won’t. You want a loan to build a giant statue in the middle of the desert? Chinese banks have got you covered. Western banks will laugh you out the door. Loan to build a new train line? Western banks want assessments, revenue estimates, feasibility studies, and ten other things. Chinese banks will ask “Are you going to hire a Chinese contractor to build it?” and if the answer is yes, they’ll write the loan.
Belt and roaded
Chinese phones are generally pretty good and cost a lot less so it’s not surprising at all.
Reading and posting this from my Chinese brand phone of around 100 bucks with 8GB of physical RAM+8GB of virtual RAM and 256GB of ROM. So I can say Chinese phones are pretty good TBH at least for a normal phone use, if you wanna play fancy games then they isn’t for you.
At least not the 100ish bucks ones.
God bless Mao Zedong 🙏🙏.
Edit: I think we have to notice the difference between Chinese-made phones and Chinese-brand phones, all phones are made in China but no all are Chinese brand.
I used One Plus in the past. It was better than the iPhone my employer gave me.
