China/Bangladesh: Low-cost Chinese mobile phone makers threaten market dominance
Mobile phones made in China and sold at lower costs than their Korean or Western counterparts are reportedly threatening their competition with a market takeover as the competitive prices win over impoverished individuals within Bangladesh.
