Huawei banned from selling in the US again? No worries! Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are unstoppable in going global

　　So far, 46 of the world's top 50 operators are selling and using Huawei products, and corporate users and consumers in more than 170 countries around the world are also using Huawei products. Let's follow the mobile phone portable editor to learn more about the relevant content.

　　Earlier this year, Huawei decided to return to the US smartphone market, but the plan is currently facing setbacks. After AT&T, the second largest mobile operator in the US, announced that it would stop cooperating with Huawei, the latest news shows that Best Buy, the largest electronics retailer in the US, has stopped purchasing the latest models of mobile phones from Huawei and will stop selling Huawei products.

　　According to foreign media reports, Best Buy has stopped ordering Huawei smartphones and is planning to stop selling Huawei products in the coming weeks. People familiar with the matter said that Best Buy has signaled the severance of relations, but did not provide specific reasons, only saying that it would change its product supply strategy for "various reasons."

　　In response, Huawei officially stated that it attaches great importance to its relationships with all partners and fully understands and respects their choices. "Due to commercial confidentiality requirements, we are not in a position to disclose the specific details of our cooperation." In addition, Huawei also pointed out that, as of now, 46 of the world's top 50 operators are selling and using Huawei products, and corporate users and consumers in more than 170 countries around the world are also using Huawei products.

　　Huawei faces many setbacks in its return to the US market

　　It is clear that Huawei's plan to return to the US mobile phone market was full of thorns from the beginning. After the return plan was proposed at the beginning of the year, Huawei and AT&T negotiated a cooperation in selling high-end mobile phones, but at the last minute, AT&T suddenly announced the cancellation of the cooperation under pressure. In addition, Verizon, another national telecommunications company in the United States, also announced that it would stop selling Huawei phones.

　　Unlike the Chinese market, the United States is a mobile phone market dominated by operators. Operators dominate 90% of the smartphone market, and public retail channels account for only about 10%. In the past few years, Huawei has gradually established a group of fans through retailers such as Best Buy, Amazon, and Newegg. Currently, Amazon and Newegg are still selling Huawei products. It is not known whether Best Buy's ban on Huawei was due to pressure from American politicians. But in the United States, security issues have always plagued Huawei.

　　In February this year, the heads of the intelligence departments of the FBI, CIA and NSA spoke to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, stating that they would not recommend Huawei and ZTE mobile phones to ordinary American citizens. In addition, Michael Conaway, a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, even said, "Due to the high-level intelligence sharing among the 'Five Eyes Alliance' countries, I am worried that the presence of Huawei or ZTE in any member country will pose a serious danger to our coordination and cooperation, as well as U.S. national security."

　　The "Five Eyes Alliance" is an intelligence sharing and surveillance alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom as its core, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. However, at present, telecom operators in the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries have used Huawei equipment to build communication networks.

　　In addition, just this Friday (March 23), the US government announced that it would impose additional tariffs on $60 billion worth of Chinese imports and take measures to restrict Chinese investment. The areas where the US imposed additional tariffs on China include: high-performance medical devices, biomedicine, new materials, agricultural machinery and equipment, industrial robots, new generation information technology, new energy vehicles, aviation products and high-speed rail equipment. The Sino-US trade issue is on the verge of breaking out, which is undoubtedly a double whammy for Huawei.

　　Brazil and India help Huawei go global

　　According to data released by market research firm Gartner, global smartphone sales in the fourth quarter of 2017 were 408 million units; Huawei ranked third in the world in sales, with smartphone sales of 43.887 million units in the fourth quarter, accounting for 10.8% of the market share.

　　Although Huawei has suffered setbacks in the US market, the attitude of Huawei's top management shows that Huawei mobile phones do not intend to give up the US market. Xu Qinsong, vice president of Huawei's consumer business, said that despite the recent setbacks in the US market, Huawei will continue to invest in the US market and expects Huawei's mobile phone sales in the US to double this year.

　　According to the latest news from foreign media, Huawei is still trying to break through the dilemma of the US market, and one of the means is to reduce the price of products. According to foreign technology media reports, the official retail price of Mate 10 Pro in the United States is 800 US dollars, and gift packages were provided when it was first listed for pre-order. This week, Huawei announced that the price of Mate 10 Pro mobile phone in the United States will be reduced by 100 US dollars, and consumers only need 700 US dollars to get it. Foreign media pointed out that after the price reduction of 100 US dollars, Huawei's high-end mobile phone is more competitively priced than competing products from Samsung Electronics and Apple.

　　In addition, Huawei has also begun selling a cheap phone Mate SE priced at around $200 in the United States. It has a high cost-effectiveness, uses a 5.93-inch screen, is equipped with an Android system, and has good battery life. After failing to sell high-end mobile phones through telecom giants, Huawei has begun to adopt other ideas.

　　Xu Qinsong also said that Huawei's mobile phone market share in some major countries is very low, but this also means that there is a lot of room for improvement in the global market share. Judging from Huawei's recent actions in markets such as Brazil and India, Huawei is not slacking off in its efforts to seize international market share.

　　According to foreign media reports earlier this week, Huawei plans to return to the Brazilian market to manufacture and sell smartphones after "withdrawing" from the Brazilian market three years ago. Liu Wei, vice president of Huawei in Brazil, said that Huawei is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the current situation in the smartphone market. There was no specific statement on the date, but he said that Huawei plans to return to the consumer industry in the coming months.

　　It is not clear what kind of phones Huawei will sell in Brazil, but Liu Wei revealed that it will include entry-level phones as well as high-end phones. Some phones will be imported, but most will probably be assembled locally in Brazil.

　　In addition, according to Indian media reports in the middle of this month, Huawei will significantly increase its mobile phone production capacity at its Chennai factory in India, while increasing its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners to promote local mobile phone manufacturing and increase Huawei's market share in India from the current 2% to more than 10%.

　　Peter Zhai, president of Huawei's India Consumer Business Group, said, "We have promised Manoj Sinha, the Indian telecom minister, that we will deepen 'Make in India' and build local production capacity in India, which will also help us become the world's third largest smartphone brand in the next five years."

　　Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are accelerating their overseas market expansion

　　It is worth noting that despite Huawei's sales being hampered in the US mobile phone market, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are still performing well in the international market, including the US market. Currently, China's ZTE, TCL, and Lenovo Group's Motorola Mobility have all gained a foothold in the US. According to data from market research firm Counterpoint Research, ZTE's market share in the US has reached 11%, making it the fourth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the US market.

　　At the same time, as a mainstream mobile phone manufacturer in China, Xiaomi has achieved great success in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia in recent years. Against this background, Xiaomi officially announced earlier this month that it will enter the US market as early as the end of this year. Xiaomi's chairman said, "We have been considering entering the US market and plan to enter this market at the end of 2018 or early 2019."

　　The first group of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, led by Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo, is accelerating its overseas expansion. Data shows that in 2017, Huawei's overseas sales accounted for about 33%, Xiaomi's overseas sales accounted for 43.4%, OPPO's overseas sales accounted for 35.4%, and vivo's sales accounted for 26.3%. Currently, Xiaomi's international business is progressing very rapidly. It has entered 73 countries and regions around the world and ranks among the top three in market share in 9 countries. In the Indian market, Xiaomi India's growth rate compared with the same period last year was about 300%, beating Samsung and ranking first. Lei Jun also made a bold statement at the Xiaomi annual meeting: global market, open up new territory!
