Recently, there is a phenomenon that I don't know if you have found that some Russian goods are snapped up in China, and the sales of Chinese domestic smartphones in Russia have soared. Let's first say that recently Russia has really been subject to continuous sanctions by many Western countries, first of all, Russia has 300 billion US dollars of foreign exchange reserves to freeze, and there are some russian rich people's overseas private assets have also been frozen, which includes some yacht luxury real estate, and some companies, etc., even the swift system has also eliminated a lot of Russian banks, then many ordinary people in Russia have found that online payment is not so good to use now. Some foreign bank cards are also not easy to use, and for some enterprises doing foreign trade business, they have also suffered a certain blow.
We have often heard the West say that private property is sacrosanct, but on the issue of economic sanctions against Russia, it seems that it is not the same as what they say, which has to be pondered. Then these Western countries not only froze some of Russia's overseas property, but even many businesses they also withdrew, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Starbucks, McDonald's, etc., have slowly withdrawn, and some of the planes leased by the West to Russia in the past have also been recovered, and even Russian cats have been sanctioned, and what sports athletes and artists can not participate in some foreign competitions and activities.
Among them, I have seen a video very impressive, that is, Russian Internet celebrities have also been affected by sanctions, because many Internet celebrities are using some foreign software in the live broadcast, this time Western countries do not let you Russia use these software, these Internet celebrities' rice bowl is not smashed? There are many millions of fans of Russian Internet celebrities have made videos crying that these foundations they have saved for so many years have been wasted, and there are many Internet celebrities, his previous live broadcast revenue from the media revenue is stored on overseas bank cards, this restriction may have some Internet celebrities have to be affected, I have to say that from top to bottom The life of the Russian people has really suffered a certain loss.
From the above, it is not difficult to find that now the Western world seems to be pursuing the concept of decoupling, that is to say, the products I produce in the future, whether high-tech or ordinary, I will not sell to you, then some of the things you produce I will not buy, but the Western countries do not forget, Russia is the world's largest country, which means that many countries are bordering him, have many neighbors, and you must not forget, there are African regions, South America and so on. Many countries can cooperate commercially with Russia, because that is not all countries in the world to impose economic sanctions on Russia, you really break your finger and count, you can count with the United States, that is, those traditional Western allies, we will find that in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, including South America, many countries are also very dependent on energy from Russia, food, other commodities, etc., then Russia can also carry out a series of cooperation with these countries.
The other day we saw that Chinese netizens bought a lot of Russian products, and even said that some Russian goods were sold out of stock.
In the past few days, the Russian media have also reported that China's smartphones are also selling well in Russia, and sales have soared. From February 28th to March 13th, our domestic, Huawei mobile phones, honor, ZTE, OPPO, vivo, etc. Chinese brand mobile phones, sales in Russia have basically doubled on average, of which Huawei mobile phones have risen the most, its sales have directly tripled, OPPO, vivo has also tripled, ZTE has doubled.
We all know that after the United States announced economic sanctions against Russia, the United States Apple mobile phones and South Korea's Samsung mobile phones are also all involved, have announced that I will suspend the sale of all products in Russia, but also to limit the payment function of Apple mobile phones. This will bring great inconvenience to the Russian people's usual online payment travel, just like the Russian Internet celebrities I mentioned at the beginning, if you still use Apple's mobile phone for live broadcasting, or fan tips and transfer money and so on, it will be affected.
In this regard, I see that some netizens at noon also gave their suggestions, saying that you can't use Apple, you can't use Samsung's payment, you can use Alipay WeChat to pay, right? I see that some netizens reminded me that this is not the future we all have to be careful to use Apple mobile phones or Samsung mobile phones? Why? You see that after Apple and Samsung did this today, it is not certain that they will also do so, so it seems that domestic mobile phones are reliable. It is understood that Apple's mobile phone sales in the Russian smartphone market account for about 15%, which is much less than Chinese brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi. Then after the outbreak of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the price of Apple Samsung in Russia began to soar, and now it seems that Apple Samsung's market share is really just filled by China's smart gold brand.
So why did Apple and Samsung dare to do this this time? In fact, compared with the mobile phone market in China and Europe, Japan and South Korea, Russia is not Apple's main mobile phone market thinking, that is to say, their profits in Russia are not large, and they dare to say that they will give up this market. If it is a big market in China, I think Apple will definitely not do it, after all, you do the company to make money, right?
Moreover, if you think back to when Gou Taiming was attracted to listen to my words, he ran to Vietnam to build a factory, ran to the United States to build a factory, and finally invested a lot of money to end up empty, once threatened that he gave the mainland a meal to eat, and now he wants to come back is difficult, like BYD and so on brands have replaced his position, which is very embarrassing. That China has such a large market of 1.4 billion people, in fact, many companies and enterprises can not put down, in any case, I think or some excellent domestic brands are more reliable. So what do you think? Do you like to use Apple phones or Huawei phones or other brands of mobile phones? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
