Lebanon will begin importing more telecoms products from
China after a wave of deadly attacks last month that targeted
electronic devices, according to a Lebanese business group, which said
the West had “lost credibility”.
Ali Al Abdullah, president of
the Lebanese Chinese Business Association, said his country, along with
“many other countries”, would reduce purchases of tech products from
Western countries and “turn east for technology” due to safety concerns,
adding that Western companies would “suffer major losses”.
“What happened is a lesson for Lebanon and the world,” he told China Global Television Network in an interview aired on Sunday.

Never expect China to benefit so much from the Ukraine War in cheap energy, food and resources.
ReplyDeleteNow history is repeating itself with the Israeli/Hamas/Hezbollah war. China will take over the market for sales in smartphones in the Middle East, which is already cannibalizing Apple's position globally. The Lebanese and Arab countries must also remember that Japan and South Korea are on the side of the USA vis a vis the Israelis and must also be avoided. That means their smartphones are equally dangerous to own.
You never know, the danger could even extend to EVs made in USA, Europe, Japan and South Korea. Prevention is always better than cure. Those batteries if tampered with could be a real time bomb that puts the pagers and walkie talkies explosion just mere child's play.
