Recently, the news that Huawei mobile phones have returned to the first place in China has aroused heated discussions.
On April 26, Canalys released the shipment volume of China's mobile phone market in the first quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter, the total domestic mobile phone shipments were 67.7 million units, a slight increase of 0.1% year-on-year, ending eight consecutive quarters of negative growth.
Among them, Huawei shipped 11.7 million units, a year-on-year increase of 70%, ranking first.
OPPO shipped 10.9 million units, down 14% year-on-year, ranking second.
Honor shipped 10.6 million units, a year-on-year increase of 9%, ranking third.
The most surprising is Apple, with shipments of 10 million units, a sharp decline of 25% year-on-year, ranking fifth, falling out of the top three for the first time in two and a half years.
Vivo shipped 10.3 million units, down 9% year-on-year, ranking fourth.
Xiaomi shipped 9.3 million units, a year-on-year increase of 9%, ranking sixth.
In the first quarter, the domestic mobile phone market has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Huawei has made a strong comeback, ranking first in sales growth and ranking first.
Apple, on the other hand, is in a slight decline, with the fastest decline in sales.
It can be seen that the vast majority of customers lost from Apple chose Huawei.
In 2019, Huawei's global sales of mobile phones reached 240 million units, surpassing Apple to rank second in the world, second only to South Korea's Samsung.
In China, Huawei mobile phones are also deeply loved by the Chinese people, with a market share of as high as 50%.
Just when Huawei launched its final charge towards the world's No. 1 place, the United States began to hack the hand.
Subsequently, Huawei's global sales declined rapidly, and its ranking also fell out of the top five and entered other ranks.
In fact, the United States has used the power of the state to suppress a company in the world, and there have been many times before, the most famous being the cases of Toshiba in Japan and Alstom in France.
In the 80s of the last century, the Japanese semiconductor industry rose in an all-round way, and Japanese companies represented by Toshiba quickly occupied the American market.
Subsequently, the United States imposed long-arm jurisdiction on Toshiba on the grounds that it had exported high-tech CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union and violated the ban of the Paris Coordinating Committee.
The U.S. canceled all contracts with Toshiba, banned Toshiba products from entering the U.S. market, and demanded an apology and action from the Japanese government.
Subsequently, the Japanese government was pressured to arrest the executives involved and demand the resignation of Toshiba's chief executive.
In fact, at that time, most of the CNC machine tools exported to the Soviet Union came from European and American enterprises.
But because Toshiba threatened the semiconductor industry in the United States, it became a scapegoat.
Since then, Toshiba has been forced to spend a lot of money on front-page advertisements in mainstream American newspapers.
This series of events had a serious impact on Toshiba's reputation and business, and Toshiba has since collapsed and its business has plummeted.
In 2022, Toshiba's core flash memory chip business was acquired by Bain Capital of the United States and has since withdrawn from the historical stage.
In addition to Toshiba in Japan, another classic case is Alstom in France.
In 2013, Alstom executive Frederick Pierucci was arrested by the FBI at New York's JFK International Airport.
The reason is that, under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Department of Justice has charged Alstom with corrupt practices in several countries, including bribery to obtain contracts.
In order to achieve this goal, the U.S. Department of Justice directed and acted on its own, planted multiple undercover agents in Alstom, and collected a large amount of trumped-up evidence.
Subsequently, Pierucci pleaded guilty, and Alstom's energy business was eventually acquired by General Electric of the United States.
Afterwards, everyone understood: Alstom's energy business was the world's leading at that time, and the acquisition of Alstom's energy business just made up for GE's shortcomings.
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse.
At Toshiba in Japan and Alstom in France, American politicians who have tasted the sweetness are full of confidence that as long as the United States uses the power of one country to suppress any company in the world, there is no one who will not give in.
However, they underestimated Huawei's resilience and fighting spirit, as well as the 1.4 billion Chinese behind it.
In the past four years, under the overwhelming fire, Huawei has not only not yielded, but has become more and more powerful.
Huawei continues to make breakthroughs in areas such as 5G, artificial intelligence chips, HarmonyOS systems, and intelligent driving systems.
Nietzsche said: What doesn't kill me will eventually make me stronger.
Perhaps, this is the best interpretation of Huawei.
After being released from prison in 2018, Pierucci, who had been imprisoned in the United States for five years, wrote a book that caused a sensation around the world, "The American Trap", exposing the dirty behavior of American politics and business to seek global benefits through long-arm jurisdiction.
On the 621st day of Meng Wanzhou's arrest, Ren Zhengfei held this book "American Trap" and fell into deep contemplation.
Through the boundless darkness, he saw a glimmer of light.
It has been suggested that for the sake of fairness and justice, Mr. Ren should write a book.
They also thought of several titles of the book, such as "Me and Huawei", "The Bird That Can't Be Burned is a Phoenix, Huawei's Nirvana", and "At a Critical Moment, Huawei's Life and Death Choice".
Do you think Mr. Ren should write a book?
What are your suggestions for the title of the book?
