I think you missed the first point... the other comment never states that only Chinese firms can serve Chinese customers at all. He&#x2F;she was more in agreeance with your point about chinese firms not needing to operate outside of china because their domestic market is large enough to serve their needs. Why leave when you have a 1bn+ person market in front of you?<p>I don&#x27;t think chinese firms <i>can&#x27;t</i> get a foothold abroad (see Huawei), it&#x27;s just that they have less desire to.
