China has great success due to the lack of knowledge in certain countries.
The best example in this respect is India.
Many Indians fear or even hate China and yet buy Chinese products on a large scale, thereby supporting India’s mortal enemy.
For example, of the ten best-selling phones in India, eight are of Chinese origin.

And some other Chinese products are also selling exceptionally successfully in India!
The problem in the case of India is not so much Indians’ lack of awareness of China’s aggression but rather the phlegm of finding out which are Chinese products and which are non-Chinese competitive products.
And this is a general problem, which, however, can be solved, as explained in our post
So, we created a website in Hindi language, where we inform Indians about Chinese phone brands offered in India and no Chinese phone brands together with information, where Indians could buy non-Chinese phones
P.S.
In the aftermath, some explanations of why Indians fear or even hate China.
China claims India´s Arunachal Pradesh (90,000 sq km) as its own territory.
And consequently, Chinese maps show India´s Arunachal Pradesh as part of China.
Furthermore, in 1952, China attacked India (Sino-Indian War) and, since then, has constantly engaged Indian troops in small-scale battles in the border region.
The last skirmishes occurred in December 2022.
