A quicker iteration cycle with input direct from customers is a common aspect to Chinese business operations across many sectors. They clearly want to collaborate with customers on fixing flaws and innovative new features to maintain market share, a completely different value proposition to traditional western brand loyalty and monolithic design cycles.

There was a good article I can't find about how Chinese electronics manufactures did with with cheap "feature phones" for African markets. The iterations were ridiculously fast as they evolved the designs to include market-specific features like extra battery storage, dual sims, skin-tone adjustments for the camera software, flashlights and integrated carabiners. These all had specific use cases for the customers based on things like unreliable grid power, swapping sims based on local carrier promotions and deals, and being able to use the phone as a emergency light.
