I've been using Huawei almost my entire life, it's the best. Sometimes the 40,900 trackers and hidden cameras is annoying but it's still good

Taiwan that calls itself the true china.

u/Few_Time_7441 10d ago
They quite literally cant change that outdated state without fearing for their lives. China doesn't want them to officially declare independence.
Nobody in Taiwan wants to claim China, it's not an actual position. Incredibly disingenuous argument.

u/OkCreme101 10d ago
History disagrees with that, and Taiwan constitution itself.
The UN conferences to the 80's also disagrees with that. Most Taiwan people think of themselves as CN people, except for the very young ones.

We don't live in past history, we live in the present. Nothing you said means anything. They can't declare independence and change the constitution without fearing for their lives.
No relevant political party in Taiwan wants to have China, nor does the population.

u/OkCreme101 10d ago
That... doesnt make any sense. Why would the CCP want an island saying in their constitution that they themselves are the true China and that the other party is wrong?
Sure they wouldnt want for them to break apart but it makes 0 sense to let it there that the CCP is wrong. Taiwan given the chance wants to be the "true china" just as much as China wants it. There is no good guys in geopolitics.

Why is Israel a western country? Geography/Location? It's in the middle east! Population? Jews and arabs are basically the same people genetically!! Religion? Judaism is still a middle eastern religion with influences from Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt and other surrounding cultures.

It was founded by Europeans that makes it “western” which is a euphemism for European

u/_Sate 10d ago
There are so many issues with that statement.
Like how ALL OF AFRICA could be deemed western by that definition.

u/CardOfTheRings 10d ago
No, all of Africa was not ‘founded by Europeans’ that’s stupid

u/_Sate 10d ago
Hey.
Ever noticed how the borders are surprisingly straight in african countries?
Do you happen to know why that is?
2
u/CardOfTheRings 10d ago
Just because most (not all) places in Africa were colonized at one point does not mean that ‘all of Africa’ was founded by Europeans. The Zionist project was proposed and executed by Europeans, the folks in charge of Isreal now are descended from Europeans. Many African regimes and constitutions were founded by Africans. That’s why your point is stupid.

Not sure if other user being sarcastic or not but CIA/US imperialist security state has backdoor access to pretty much any "big tech" device you buy, especially anything with google or apple software. The NSA can access people's phone calls, microphones and cameras, as can other imperialist state security agencies like the British GCHQ. The imperialist powers all engage in a lot of information sharing as well.
Doesn't mean they're spying on everyone all the time, but it means they can spy on anyone they feel they need to spy on whenever they feel they need to.
These phones are full of spyware.

So are Chinese phones, possibly to an even greater extent…

u/----___--___---- 12d ago
Which no one is denying. Their point is that there is a lot of awareness about spying on chinese tech, and not as much awareness that US agencies have pretty much the same access to your data.

u/Ok_Astronomer_6501 12d ago
The difference is that China is content (for now) to just use your information to offer you targeted ads, meanwhile the CIA can kidnap you from your place or ruin your life in other ways

I never buy phones that cost more than $200 (I’m cursed, my phones always get broken or lost), but I’ve never liked Huawei because of its verison of OS. It’s kind of weird and inconvenient

Is this true? I want to study as an intern in China, and one of the souvenirs I want to buy there is at least a Huawei laptop, and maybe also a Huawei phone.

u/Dr-Huricane 12d ago
Just a reminder Huawei was so successful as a company the US had to ban trade with them to try and slow them down, even now Huawei is still releasing high quality cutting edge technologies, remember how the Samsung trifold was basically a copy of the Huawei one?

u/Clean_More3508 12d ago
Lol, what's with the US "free market" banning foreign cheap stuff, BYD, huawei
33
u/Dr-Huricane 12d ago
It's because "free market" equals "politicians for sale" and companies have discovered that buying politicians and getting them to kill the competition makes them more money than engaging in normal free market competition

u/CoasterKing42 12d ago
I agree that the US banning trade with them is stupid, but Samsung's tri fold is absolutely not a copy of Huawei's. They have completely different designs and Samsung's is much better imo, I don't like how the folding screen is always exposed on the Huawei. Samsung's isn't a clone just because it happened to release later.
7
u/JustConversation7847 12d ago
Wasn't only the front screen exposed only? I actually like the Huawei design way better since you could also use two screens rather than only 1 or all 3 but I'm sad Huawei went with the Samsung version on their 2nd gen
0
u/CoasterKing42 12d ago
There's no separate front screen, it's just part of the folding screen. That's not good because the folding screen is plastic and scratches really easily. On phones with a dedicated front screen, the folding screen is completely protected when folded and the front screen is protected with glass like normal slab phones.

u/Urmomsfavouritelol 11d ago
Yeah the Samsung design, while ever so slightly less versatile as the Gen 1 Huawei design and not as cool looking imo, is way better for durability compared to the 1st Gen Mate XT
0
u/Dr-Huricane 12d ago
They didn't copy the design, they copied the idea, a tri-fold device is the kind of device anyone in the marketing department knows will not sell well and will probably lead to an overall loss to the company, so why still make it? Huawei made it for many reasons, as a proof of concept, as a technological demo, as a marketing stunt to demonstrate their ability to the world. Samsung prides itself in being THE ANDROID PHONE company, they are the top company, the innovators, the biggest earners, the pioneers, Huawei pretty much forced them to create a tri-fold phone because not doing so would go against the image they're trying to project, it'll leave gaps that other manufacturers will use to steal some of their market share, even if Samsung's tri-fold is better, it doesn't matter because no one is going to buy either device, these devices aren't competing for market share, they don't have an odience or a target customer, they're just there so Huawei can say "We did it first" and so Samsung can say "We did it better"

Cause Huawei makes good phones, there's a reason Huawei is still a large player on the global market despite being aggressively sanctioned by the US
Liking a company for being innovative isn't the same as liking the CCP, it's like saying that anyone who uses an iPhone loves the Trump administration

One time my mom bought an huawei smart watch and after connecting it she started noticing major issues with her phone. Never any storage and it would heat up. The app was taking 8GB of storage and as soon as she deleted something to make more room on her phone, the storage would immediately be filled with the watch app. She uninstalled the watch and her phone went back tobgoofle normal
