China’s social networks are flooded with fake messages about dissatisfied Europeans complaining about the poor quality of the new iPhone 15 made in India. Bloomberg reports this.
According to the source, the iPhone 15 is the first generation of Apple smartphones, the first batch of which was produced simultaneously in China and India. Apple has increased its production in India so much that some smartphones from that country are being shipped to store shelves in China. In this context, users of the Chinese social network Weibo launched a campaign to discredit Indian-made smartphones.
According to the source, the Chinese are claiming in made-up stories that European buyers rejected the Indian-made iPhone 15 due to poor quality. It is claimed that they prefer Chinese-made devices instead.
This behavior is attributed to the fact that China is the world leader in smartphone production and is proud of its technological achievements and manufacturing experience. “This anti-India sentiment suggests some uncertainty about how long this will last,” Bloomberg writes.
The publication also noted that it took many years for the Chinese to break free of the stereotype, as products labeled “Made in China” were considered low quality.
