Huawei closer to 140 million smartphone sales target for 2016
Chinese leading smartphone brand Huawei has announced that it has sold over 100 million units as of October 14 this year.

Huawei's smartphone segment is apparently more prosperous in 2016 as the Chinese company achieved 100 million handset sales for this year on October 14, a figure it took until December 22 to reach last year, according to its official Weibo account.

The company has secured 30 percent smartphone sales in the price range of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan ($445 to $594) -- normally considered the high-end models for Chinese brands -- and remains the leader in the Chinese market, according to Huawei. Shipments of its flagship dual-camera models P9 and P9 Plus have exceeded 8 million since their launch in April, according to the report.

In April, Huawei set a sales goal of 140 million for the year, 40 percent higher than its actual sales in 2015. He Gang, head of Huawei Technologies' smartphone unit, told Chinese media that the company will achieve the target as expected as its high-end and mid-ranged handsets have registered growth of 100 percent and 30 percent over last year, respectively. Lower priced budget phones, on the other hand, saw the least growth.

According to He, Huawei's overseas sales also saw a boom in the year, with several markets in Western Europe and North Eastern Europe growing between 50 percent and 100 percent over 2015. Poland, where growth was only a single digit in 2015, has seen over 20 percent sales growth of Huawei phones this year, He said.

Huawei previously reported a 40 percent jump in sales for H1 2016, and is aiming to become the global smartphone leader by 2020, according to CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group Richard Yu.

The company currently owns 16 global research and development centers. Aside from those in China, it has extended its R&D teams into countries including the US, Sweden, France, the UK, South Korea, Japan, and India.

Nope, I was talking about the Chinese opening one thread after another on the same subject

I think this is the first one opened by a legit Chinese member.

Has India boycotted chinese goods? Some overzealous people's appeal to not buy chinese goods cant amount to boycott by India. I think some chinese are reading too much into such trivia.

Actually it is not big news here, people read it like a joke...
but apparently, it is HUGE in Indian media.

India has not boycotted Chinese Goods.

Only one section of Indians is, on their own volition, trying to do this.

I'm afraid many RSSers here don't agree with you.

Let's enjoy the Ode to the Red Flag!
Let's support the development of all nations!

I found the original article, written by an Indian living in China.
But it is not an editorial but in the business section.

Chinese companies should focus on domestic resources rather than investing in India
By Gaurav Tyagi Source:Global Times Published: 2016/10/18 21:53:39

There has been a lot of talk recently in the Indian media as well as on social media about boycotting Chinese products but trust me, I am well aware of the Indian psyche. It's just rabble rousing. Indian manufacturing cannot compete at all with Chinese products, for various reasons.

For one thing, India lacks infrastructure. The country still needs to build roads and highways to have proper connectivity across the length and breadth of the nation. India suffers from chronic power and water shortages and, worst of all, corruption is highly prevalent from top to bottom in every single government department. Indian politicians are busy courting the West instead of improving ties with China. The US is no-one's friend. The Americans are just indulging India in order to contain China, as the US is jealous of China's development and global power.

India has enough money but the majority of it is concentrated with politicians, bureaucrats and a few crony capitalists. Indian elites don't want to spend funds available in the country, which in reality is the taxpayers' money but is utilized by the Indian establishment for its own personal consumption. Because of this, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started impractical schemes like "Make in India." The reason is that the Indian establishment wants foreign companies to invest in the country.

Nowadays, the world is witnessing rapid changes. Automation has taken over a lot of basic manufacturing jobs all across the globe. Imports and exports are down. It would be completely suicidal for Chinese companies to put their money in India by starting manufacturing projects there. The labor class in India is not very hard working or efficient. India has numerous labor unions. Their main aim is how to extract more money from the factory owners by doing the least amount of work.

In any case, Indian businessmen flock to China in large numbers to buy products from China and sell them in India. This model suits China, so why disturb it by going and wasting money setting up manufacturing facilities in India?

I am based in Gansu Province. The salaries here are quite low compared to other parts of China, like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Plenty of land is available in this province and there is also a sufficient number of educated working class people. The cost of living is also lower in Gansu compared to other major business centers around China.

The Chinese phone making companies should set up their manufacturing units in Gansu Province rather than devoting time, resources, money and energy into setting up facilities in India. Let the Indian authorities bark about the growing trade deficit with China. The fact of the matter is they cannot do anything about it.

This freelance writer comes across as quite biased.

To be honest, I don't think manufacturing in Gansu is suitable for supplying the Indian market. Due to its location, the factories located there will be more suited to supply the countries in the Central Asian Republics (as part of OBOR).

I'm not saying i am in support of his opinions.
But, according to many indian websites and newspaper, his article became an editorial from China's official state media....How absurd!

It seems that boycotting in social media is part of their daily life......
Oh boy....

There have been at least two prominent Indian boycotts of Chinese goods in the past few months.

The first happened in April. It was caused by dissatisfaction over China's stand on the issue of Maulana Masood Azhar, leader of the militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed active in Kashmir, who is accused of committing terrorist acts in India. The second was in July and because of China's lack of support for India's bid to join the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

Simple call by worthless politicians wont result in boycott of goods. The truth is we dont have an alternative to electronic goods. However small scale segment is where Indians should promote their own things. Like plastic dolls, fireworks etc

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is company’s best-selling smartphone in India. Xiaomi India, in a tweet, revealed over 2.3 million units of Redmi Note 3 have been sold in India till date. Xiaomi claims 1 unit of Redmi Note 3 unit is sold every second in the country. “Celebrate #RedmiNote3’s milestone with Mi to win coupons or a Redmi Note 3,” the tweet reads. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 was launched in India in March and according to IDC’s India Monthly Smartphone Tracker – June 2016, this is the highest-shipped smartphone for online platform in India in any given quarter.

Xiaomi is celebrating the milestone achievement by giving users a chance to win Redmi Note 3 and coupons of Rs 100. The company has announced a challenge that will let users win Redmi Note 3 for themselves. The game asks users to type a word (given by Xiaomi) within 7 seconds.

Read: Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 review & video: A stellar comeback indeed

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has been launched in two storage options in India. The 16GB storage variant costs Rs 9,999 and 32GB option is available for Rs 11,999. The USP of this budget smartphone is its huge 4,050 mAh battery. Other specifications include a 5.5-inch full HD display, metal unibody design, Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB space. In our review, we said Redmi Note 3 it ticks all the right boxes. Battery, which can be a pain point at this price is not a problem and the phone has virtually no lag. The battery easily lasted for more than a day and a half on heavy usage during our review.

I dont know about that. But Chinese firecrackers do have a bad reputation in our country, though much Chinese types doesnt come in South. Sivakasi, a town in my state was firecracker capital of India. But the Chinese types are now flooding up the North market.

Probably indian traders should invest more money in importing higher end products as opposed to going for low end products which Chinese don't even buy every single time. They are famous for bargaining lower prices at the expense of quality in China.

Nearly all major firework shows around the world are supported by Liuyang Firework.

Its neither a big news here. But unlike your country we have hundreds of private print and electronic media that look to make news out of anything. But its indeed hurtful to Indians that China is supporting the likes of Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed. It does not behove the stature of China. However, We Indians wont like to affect the business relations as thats important to us. During cold war era we did business with USA and other NATO nations. We have given Pakistan MFN status. Development is our top priority and we believe more business will reduce it.

Unfortunately, RSSers won't agree with you, who are famous for spreading religious nonsense such as beef banning and boycotting more than providing food to low-caste. India to me is the least practical country, and the least I have ever seen valuing development and economic relations with other countries.

Your nonsense might be true if you change the subject to other country.
But india? Come on, we all know the reality here!

Strange, Indian media reports paints a different picture, and even China's "warning" department has issued warning (20778654th) against boycott. If boycott was not working, they would not have done that.

Yes, India has boycotted Chinese goods. Whether it would be successful or not is another matter.

What you are describing would be a 'ban'. India has not banned Chinese goods, though there is a grassroot movement for boycotting them.
