    It’s actually even worse: if you take BBK’s brands, they’re #1 so Apple is essentially #4. So China is roughly taking 50% of the whole market.

    This is not a good trend in any way, but I suppose we’ve been digging our own graves for a long time.

      Because the US’s virtual monopoly in the tech industry (at least in the West) have been such a ball of wholesomeness and benevolence.

        Yes, granted, but I don’t see how replacing it with another, seemingly hostile, monopoly will help.

          I don’t see China becoming a tech monopoly any time soon. Many countries are stepping up their own tech game lately (at least domestically) due in great part to distrust in the US.
