The development of Huawei and Apple does not seem to have much to do with the migrant workers with a monthly salary of 3,000. In fact, their competition and change do have an important impact on each of us. In recent years, Apple has begun to shift its industrial chain to India, while Huawei's rise has revitalized domestic suppliers.
Let's look at the appeal of India's rise to Apple. According to the latest world population data, India's population has surpassed China to become the world's most populous country. This has led to a great deal of interest in India by global businesses such as Apple. The huge population brings low-cost labor, which is a gastronomic feast for Apple, which has a global layout. Coupled with the fact that the United States and other Western countries have been shouting about the China threat and de-Sinicization, India has become a new target for them to replace China.
Apple began to lay out the Indian market early. In 2022 alone, India completed more than 51 billion yuan of iPhone assembly and exported nearly 36.5 billion yuan of iPhone devices in March this year, an increase of 300% year-on-year. These figures show Apple's rapid growth in the Indian market.
It also means that Chinese suppliers lose significant market share, which is a huge loss for them. The trend towards a younger population in India has led to a larger young workforce, while India has relatively low quality education and lower labor costs. This gives Apple the labor it dreams of. In addition, the rise of India's middle class has also brought consumer demand for mid-to-high-end luxury goods, and the smartphone market has about 10 million consumers per month, which is a huge market.
At the same time, Huawei's rise has had a positive impact on Chinese suppliers. Apple's shift has left Chinese suppliers in a difficult position, but Huawei's rise has brought them new opportunities. Huawei's products and technologies continue to innovate, such as the Hongmeng system, Starflash technology and Kirin chips, and in some ways even surpass Apple. Huawei's success has also led to a recovery of suppliers, who have begun to ramp up, increase production capacity and recruit employees. For example, Shenzhen Ou Film Technology Co., Ltd. has recruited more than 6,000 people in the past 6 months and opened a number of industrial lines.
This change has important implications for China's supply chain. In the past, China was only a labor-providing country and could only earn assembly fees. Now, Huawei's rise allows Chinese suppliers to benefit from upstream profits while also supporting downstream supporting companies. This change is not just an economic impact, but can also have an impact on countries such as the United States by cultivating the spending habits of Chinese consumers.
We also need to see the brutality of this competition. Apple's transfer has led to the dilemma of Chinese suppliers, and some companies have fallen into the crisis of broken capital chains, and even closed down and laid offs. This affects not only the economy, but also all aspects of society, affecting people's livelihoods and livelihoods. In this case, Huawei's rise has become a lifesaver for Chinese suppliers.
In this global competitive market, the struggle between Huawei and Apple determines the fate of each of us. Huawei's success is of great significance to the development of China's economy and industrial chain. Choosing to support Huawei means supporting our own domestic products, and also means supporting the development of the entire industry chain and bringing more jobs and consumption opportunities. This is not only for their own interests, but also for the prosperity and development of the country.
Although migrant workers with a monthly salary of only 3,000 yuan may seem unrelated to the competition between Huawei and Apple, each of us should realize that this competition is related to our livelihood and future. We should support domestic enterprises and Huawei's development, so that China can have a stronger voice in the global industrial chain, so as to achieve national prosperity and people's happiness.
