Apparently, it is not merely coincident that the Huawei phone could stop bullet. Huawei claimed they used "military helmet" grade material on some of their high end phones a couple of years ago.

Bullet fending Chinese smartphone symbolizes smart ‘Madein China’ products
Sept 17, 2016
People's Daily

BEIJING, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- A recent news story about a Huawei smartphone, which saved the life of a businessman who was shot by robbers in South Africa, was one of the most read on social media in China.

It has also helped draw fresh attention to Chinese brands or "Made in China" products.

It might be a coincidental or magical episode for Chinese brands in that story, but on the other hands, the "Made in China" products are winning substantial recognition and praises from their users worldwide.

China is turning from a "manufacturing powerhouse" to "a smart, intelligent manufacturing giant," which is providing the world with brilliant, innovative products and services with high technical and cultural inputs.

CHINESE HANDPHONES POPULAR WORLDWIDE

According to British newspaper Daily Mail, South African businessman Siraaj Abraham was ambushed by masked raiders late August outside his house in Cape Town, and one of the robbers shot Abraham in the chest from a distance of only two meters.

Thanks to a Huawei P8 Lite smartphone stored in Abraham's front pocket, which was hit by a 9mm bullet but fended the bullet from entering the 41-year-old man's body, his life was miraculously saved.

The Huawei smartphone does not have a metal body, but its plastic build managed to stopa flying bullet.

Huawei later presented Abraham with a brand new Huawei P9 Lite to replace his damagedphone, for free.

Advertising giant WPP's market research unit, Millward Brown, believed that China's telecom leader Huawei enjoys a growing business presence worldwide, and its smartphones have become a powerful growth engine with soaring popularity and reputation with consumers.

Xiaomi smartphones, which emerged in recent years in China, are also highly sought after overseas. Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi now has gradually entered Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and Brazil, among others, after its products were launched in Taiwan and Hong Kong regions of China in April 2013.

The popularity of OPPO, another Chinese smartphone brand, is steadily growing in Africa and Arab countries like Egypt.

CHINA'S MOVIES, TV SERIALS ENTER ORDINARY AFRICAN HOUSES

Watching TV was luxury in Africa in the past, with an initial installation charge of 200 U.S. dollars, a commissioning cost of 50 dollars, and a subscribing fee of at least 47 dollars, recalled a office salary earner called Joseph in Kenya.

Nowadays, Kenyans only need to pay 20 dollars for a set top box and some 2.5 dollars extra for a package to watch quality digital programs. This is brought to Kenya by Star Times, a Chinese private company that has successfully made its foot prints in the African continent.

Zhang Junqi, CEO of Star Times' Kenya subsidiary, said that over the past years, Star Times has established branches in more than 30 African countries like Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania, with more than 8 million subscribers.

Star Times has become the most influential digital television operator in Africa now, Zhangsaid.

To meet the rising demand for Chinese movies and TV programs by more and more Africans, the company established a regional producing center in 2011. In a Chinese movie and TV channel launched by Star Times, those stories about daily life of Chinese families, Chinese countryside and success stories of individuals are most popular among the audience.

He said while Chinese products are bringing the Chinese people and African people closer, Africans look forward to learning more about China and regard the Chinese TV serials as echoing and reflecting the feelings and experiences of their own.

CHINESE METRO VEHICLES WIN PRAISES FROM RIO OLYMPICS HOSTS

Chinese metro vehicles or coaches have won praises from the hosts of the Rio Olympics which just was held in the Brazilian city last month.

The city of Rio de Janeiro opened its long-awaited metro Linha 4 a week before the Olympoic Games began. The coaches of the line were made by Chinese producers.

Cristiano Mendoza, a project manager of Rio Metro Barra which ran the line, said in a letter to the line's contractor, the Changchun Railway Vehicles Company, expressing appreciation for the good work done by the company.

"The newest set of modern railway vehicles have won not only praises from Rio Metro Barra, but also the citizens of Rio and Rio Olympics audiences and sportsmen and sportswomen from around the world," said Mendoza.

The Changchun Railway Vehicles Company has already signed contracts to provide vehicles for subways and metros in five Brazilian cities with a total of over 600 coaches worth about 1 billion dollars.

During the Olympic games, the Chinese coaches have played a major role in offering top-quality transport services to the public, said Rio metro people.

A businessman who has shot in the chest by armed raiders during a robbery in South Africa was saved when the gunman's bullet deflect off his mobile phone.

Siraaj Abrahams, 41, was ambushed as he pulled up outside his house in Cape Town by two masked men who tried to pull him out of his vehicle.

During the fracas, a 9mm bullet was fired at close range towards Mr Abraham's chest.

However, it miraculous hit off his Huawei P8 Lite smartphone, which he had stowed away in his jacket pocket.

Eventually the raiders ran off with just £15 in cash and even though Mr Abrahams was shaken - he was unhurt thanks to his mobile phone.

Now all he has to show for his 'near death experience' is a tiny mark on his chest and a hole in his jacket where the bullet struck.

The drama unfolded as the father-of-five was returning home from a birthday party in his Hyundai pick-up truck.

As he waited for his electric fence to open, the two men pounced on him, trying to pull him out of his vehicle.

But Mr Abrahams decided to fight back, and that is when the weapon was discharged.

The bullet miraculously hit off his Huawei P8 Lite smartphone, pictured, which he had stowed away in his jacket pocket

Despite the phone saving Mr Abrahams' life, an ECG report revealed that his heart had stopped for a few seconds after the shot was fired

He told the Daily Voice: 'I didn't even see it coming; the first one just pulled open the door. He pulled me out of the bakkie (truck) and we began to struggle.

'During the struggle, he second was, who was two metres away, fired a shot at me.'

Mr Abrahams 16-year-old daughter, who was returning home from a friend's house, found her father lying on the driveway outside his car.

He added: 'When I woke, I just felt this burning feeling over my chest and felt to see where it was and if there was blood.'

The 41-year-old was then rushed to hospital where an ECG report estimated Mr Abrahams' heart had stopped for a few seconds after the shot was fired.

And his stunned wife Shamiela, 41, says her husband had been saved by an act of 'divine intervention'.

Police are now investigating the attack and say that the two suspects are still at large. Pictured is his damaged phone

She said: 'We said Allah is great, because this is all God's work, everything had to happen the way it did.

'We received an ECG report that showed he had flatlined for a few seconds.'

Police are now investigating the attack and say that the two suspects are still at large.

Meanwhile phone manufacturer Huawei has sent Mr Abrahams a brand new P9 Lite to replace his damaged phoe.

Huawei sub-Saharan Africa marketing director Hawa Hyath said: 'We had a similar story in Africa a few years ago where a media pad received a bullet wheile a researcher was conducting his field work.

'We first read about Siraaj's story in out Nigeria office, then it travelled to our Kenya office and landed up in China.'

There is a similar story in India too

A soldier during the Kargil war was saved by a Five Rupee Coin which was in his shirt pocket

Otherwise the bullet would have pierced his chest

That soldier went on to win India's highest Gallantry award

Huawei to focus on AI in bid to boost core business

Huawei Technologies Co Ltd will focus on using artificial intelligence to boost its core networking gear business while stepping up efforts to recruit AI talents from the United States, its founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said.

"We will not work on public AI products and small applications. Instead, our AI research and development will revolve around the core networking business," he said in a recent speech on Huawei's AI efforts.

The remark was Huawei's first public announcement of its strategy in the booming AI industry, which Apple Inc and domestic players Baidu Inc and Xiaomi Corp are all pouring money into, in the hope of establishing a beachhead.

Founded in 1987, Huawei is a global leader in manufacturing telecom equipment. The speech, published on the firm's official WeChat account on Sunday, also came as the Shenzhen-based company is seeking to displace Samsung and Apple as the world's largest smartphone vendor, after it secured the top position in China.

"We account for one-third of the global networking market and it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain networks on such a huge scale," Ren said.

According to Ren, AI can enable experts to focus on tackling the most crucial problems while machine learning can take care of the rest. The application of AI in predicting online traffic can also help design networking structures.

In the first half of this year, Huawei recorded revenue of 245 billion yuan ($36.7 billion), marking a year-on-year rise of 40 percent.

"Once our annual revenue exceeds $150 billion by 2020, our growth will slow down, and that is when AI can play a big role," Ren added.

The firm will also ramp up resources to hire the best AI talents from all over the world.
