Huawei vs Apple: What does the Global South care about?
China DailyCustomers examine Huawei Mate XT trifold smartphones at a flagship store of the Chinese technology giant in Shanghai. This split leaves Global South countries in an unenviable position: opting for Huawei's affordable yet quality products risks being seen by the West as siding with China. We hope that major countries uphold the spirit of contract and market principles, and work together to maintain a global market order featuring fair competition and win-win cooperation, one that is not defined by malicious sanctions or forced alignments. We encourage tech companies worldwide to offer more advanced high-end products as well as more quality yet affordable products in light of the needs and concerns of consumers of the Global South. Supporting the Global South's full participation in the digital revolution is not only the responsibility of the international community, but is also essential for addressing global challenges and building a better future for all.
