Apple's scale is close to 5 times that of Huawei, and American companies are basically in a position to win without a fight because of the US government's participation in plunder, and foreign companies cannot compete with it at all.
In 2020, Huawei's revenue reached an all-time high of $129.2 billion, while Apple's revenue in the same period was 274.2 billion, which was 2.12 times that of the former. In the first quarter of 2023, Huawei's revenue was $19.2 billion, while Apple's revenue was $94.8 billion in the same period, the latter being 4.93 times that of the former. In just three years, Huawei has gone from a strong rival to a taillight that can't even be seen. It can be said that today's Huawei and Apple are no longer in the same order of magnitude and can no longer pose a threat to Apple.
As we all know, Apple's market is not built by itself, but the US government plundered from Huawei. Since the United States announced sanctions against Huawei in 2019, Huawei's development has fallen into a difficult situation, and mobile phones have been downgraded directly from 5G to 4G, which can be said to be completely crushed by Apple's latitude, losing almost all of the international market and most of the domestic market. These markets were then effortlessly captured by Apple, which contributed nearly 100 billion dollars in profits to Apple.
This is the essence of the current competition of multinational enterprises, only technology and excellent products are not enough, but also need a strong national background escort. Otherwise, the international market that you have worked hard to develop for decades can be obtained by others lying down, which is completely an unequal market game, how can you participate in the competition?
