This... reads like propaganda to my (western) eyes.

Yeah - the article is not at all precise about the actual statistics and I can't find the actual study anywhere. It definitely doesn't match my own experience, even though that's anecdotal.

This part made me laugh " The research also found that a large proportion of Huawei users own flats and cars while Apple users do not."

Definitely propaganda

So you're trying to tell me the people who own the most expensive smartphones have the smallest income? Nice try Huawei.

I do know some rich guys use Huawei phones in China. But I don't know poor people that uses iPhone in China.
