Unknown Chinese Phonemaker

Shit title and really highlights Bloomberg's western supremacist views. Unknown to who? Clearly tons of people know about it if it took over Africa.

They have different brands than us because they're a completely different region and market? Nope, never heard of it so it must be unknown.

Exactly, and this is such a great illustration how companies don't need Western consumer market to be successful.
