China's brand suffers of a image problem. Its officialdom has the eye on the internal problems, that takes 80% of its attention. Anorther problem is cultural. TJ once told me the Chinese tries everything by his own and them only go seek help if they fail. This hampers the Chinese progress. I have been contacted by Huawei once. They said Huawei had put a lot of Chinese in senior positions on their operatons abroad. That had not worked. Hampered their aspirations. The Chinese didn't know the language, nor the culture and custoemrs were going to talk with Nokia and Ericsson although more expensive. To revert that situation, Huawei created a program i which they are investing USD400 million to change that. They want to hire locals for those senior postions. Same as the competition has been doing. This will result in foreigners going back to their HQ and bringing back the experience that they don;t have. Once that starts happening, the competition will be destroyed.
