" Chinese buyers , especially the younger ones , don’ t just believe that foreign brands are better . Right now , Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China ’is not bad at all ,”Charlie Chen , head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse , told South China Morning Post in March .
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies - Huawei , Oppo , Vivo , and Xiaomi . Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five , but it has lost large ground (失去优势，失利）to the home brands in recent years . Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
