What people don't realize is that the profitability of an Apple phone versus any Android based brand is night and day. Even when Chinese, Korean or Japanese brands start selling a lot more units, they still don't get anything like the profitability of Apple which is why for investors, Apple stock is so attractive.

Not really. Japanese automakers, for instance, weren't very profitable while they were in the process of becoming globally dominant in the 1970s. It was all about market share, ie grabbing market share from foreign competitors at any cost, with rock-solid backing from their protectionist government at home. This is the story of Huawei and other Chinese corporates today. Don't underestimate them!

Globalists say globalization is not a zero sum game, but they are ludicrously wrong.
