The Huawei P70, P70 Pro, P70 Pro+ and P70 Art Edition are set to be officially unveiled next week if the latest leaks are to be believed. The peculiar design can already be seen in photos, while a data sheet supposedly reveals the specs of the top models.
It is an authoritarian regime after all, do you think that these phones are being used to aid their goals ? or maybe simply buying them helps support that regime ?
Like I said in another comment in here, I find it odd that we need/want to pay more for things that don't actually cost that more but do because some companies can't run the books right (ie: fat cats and excessive profits) and end up with massive corps having to submit a First Gazette Notice.
I had no idea what that meant since I found out last night my company I work for here in the UK, has done just that :/
Being a consumer means I don't attribute others ethics, nor ideology, when making a buying decision.
I buy things because I'm a consumer of goods that tries to save myself from having to spend more, to line others greedy pockets though.
If those are my ethics, call me a dirty consumer perhaps? But people getting paid minimum wages whilst people who do nothing other than tell their sales department to up their price "just because" it doesn't come from a certain geography is like chopping your nose off to spite your face IMO.
edit: I found a perfect example of this. Berghaus fleece Vs a Amazon basics, or hell, even a Regatta fleece. Just the badge, and nothing else.
And when you have a finite amount of money / time left on this planet I uphold my values of buying the best bang for buck.
Whether that's my Xiaomi router, phone, scooter, or even the cheapo Amazon basics fleece the first thing I do is look at the price and not if it comes from a country that others don't like.
