Chinese Patriotism: Huawei Smartphone Sales Jump 66% In China As Apple iPhone Sales Slump

This is a point in time when Chinese consumers, downright furious of President Trump's protectionist policies that targeted Chinese companies over the summer, have collectively stood up to an aggressor (the US), and have secretly fired back, targeting US firms by abandoning their products for domestic ones, all in the name of patriotism. 

Honestly, over time, the trade war, if solved next month or next year, or who knows at this point when it'll be solved, will have devastating consequences for corporate America as their market share in China will erode as patriotism forces consumers to gravitate towards domestic brands. 

A new report from Canalys, an independent research firm focused on technology, has linked patriotism in China for the jump in Huawei smartphone sales in the third quarter.

Huawei's 3Q19 smartphone sales soared by 66% YoY in China, compared with a 31% increase in 2Q19.
