They are running a script to prevent links from being posted twice . This is the same script rpolitics was using . This wasnt occuring before . Also they shut down the MrTrump sub again and are trying to control every sub here . We ' ve had corruption within our mod system before and this is nothing new . <| sep |> It ' s only a couple of years ago , that many claimed they were unrealistically ambitious when they announced that they intended to be among the top 3 in smartphones in 3 years . Personally I thought they stood a pretty good chance , because I recognized parallels to previous situations in other industries , where similar strategies have worked because all the basic elements were already in place . Huawei had all the necessary components to succeed , first financing development and expansion through profits from another related industry , and having some level of synergy with it . Having experience with global sales , and having experience with production of globally competitive hardware . Then having a sound and realistic plan for how to get there , like building it on affordable hardware that in part is advertised by attractive products in the higher end , building trust in the brand by becoming widely used and familiar through cheaper options , that pave the way for sales of more profitable products with a reputation of good value . This of course has only worked because the phones were actually good quality and value . But they had already shown that when they announced their ambition to become a top global player , when they weren ' t # 1 either in their home market or among Chinese phone makers . Obviously it could have failed easily , and currently I don ' t really see any competitor that would be likely to be able to pull off a similar strategy . The market is more flooded with good and cheap phones than ever , and margins are generally too low to finance expansion without infusion , and it seems near impossible to make a phone that really stands out in terms of value by any measure .
