@@jamesmelwani6000 yes bro. We don't have that much money or resource even today. We can't have everything in house right. Some more developed countries still depend on certain things like mobile phones and silicon for other countries. We can also be like that. Nothing wrong in that. What matters is Chinese companies provide us value for money, quality and new technology at good prices and as a consumer we want that. Indian smartphone brands never did that and they never will.
