Chinese gadget makers want to break into the US market, but to do so, they have to overcome unique challenges. US consumers worry about these companies’ privacy and data practices, and the creators face years of stigma against Chinese products.

The U.S. trade war with Japan in the 1980s, that also ruined many Japanese tech companies.
😍
Cool Gadgets
For me The Verge shines with those kind of videos. It makes us reflect and see perspectives that we wouldnt even imagine before watching. Great content!
Cool coat 👍😁
What a painfully biased video. Let’s also not forget the boatload of human rights violations China commits. Of course we don’t want their companies.
Though I feel the pain of these entrepreneurs, this video does feel like a whitewashing campaign funded by CCP. very disappointing Verge !!
Lowlife trump and modi bots
really? The significant barriers are language and cultural? You could not think of any other very significant barrier like the fact China is a de facto dictatorship that collect peoples data and the fact that ridiculous winnie the pooh xi xing ping is offented by everything?
6:45 mark...she looked really uncomfortable saying that. Is there a way to opt out of your private info being shared?
Amazing reporting
Guy said that Dji did not pretend to be like a western company. That is just straight up not true. Just watch the ads from dji you’ll get the idea.
Tbh no one really likes those stuff from China because of the products' quality.
My god these comments. The xenophobia is real...
these people should be wearing masks...
Nice oneplus 8t👍👍👍🇵🇰
American companies aren't even transparent about how they use our data
US media is in crisis... works like prostit**es of China.
So... When China bans the USA from selling in their market, it's okay, but when we ban China from selling here, we're in the wrong? Double Standards much? How about China quits being a terrible country, then we can start accepting some of their companies. This was an incredibly biased video by the verge. You won't be getting anymore views from me. Good luck with your anti-American and Pro-China agenda, but I won't be supporting it.
Nice to see CCP sponsoring VERGE😂
Winnie the Pooh
Stop making inferior products and people will embrace them.
Is everybody happy now ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
Banning tiktok is fair as Chyna bans google but banning huawei is unfair they innovate so much Also don't buy 8T op becoming lazy
Terrible video. China has long banned US companies, so why is it a problem if US banned theirs? Double standard much?
Well said 🤝
Chinies always follow stick and talk freindship
China is nothing but a copy...
How much did the CCP pay you useful idiots to make this video?
WOW i think the verge subbotted 3m subs with only 75k views in 4 days with onl 400 commen ts
Interesting view, next please do a video on the challenges of US tech companies in China
2:45 dam thats a long neck
While the story is trashed by dishonesty, I see you’r trying.
The Verge covers all those issues about China’s problems all the time, go check out the website. They’ve written about human rights violations in China, corrupt businesses buying American companies and ruining the working environment, crappy products that make the reviewers bleed, Foxconn’s big Wisconsin scam.... etc.
Biased 100%. Why Verge?
🤔
Don't forget to screw with confidence
Innovation? my foot!!!
That is a BEAUTIFUL (and spotless) kitchen!
Very good video 👍🏼
99% of gadgets are made in China. So you really don't to say it is.
You know what I didn’t want when I clicked on this video??? 4 genesis ads.
Sorry. 5 genesis commercials.
"Communist Bandit"
I like this segment e
China is good in making only clone products 😂😅
AMY FARAH FOWLER? You are reviewing gadgets now?? AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE
👎
WOW Verge..!! True tech video.. Love it.. Kudos to team.. :)
This is very Good News. 😌😀
Who else is seeing the genesis ad 10 billion times just in this less than 15 min video?
A big issue is, with the government not allowing them to grow an online market with sites that the rest of the world uses. China will not grow unless they can successfully connect with the rest of the world and remove some of the ideas that are forced upon them from the government. Racism being a big one in China. I am not saying all are, but it is a big issue in China.
That lady's neck is very long.
We don't like communism that's it
@paidninja China does have big state industries that play a big role in the country. To say it is a state capitalism really it isn’t wrong. In addition, there are private businesses and non-government industries that most may not be subsidized or being supported by the government. For example in the US most big corporate entities have been subsidized by the federal government. For example, bailing out and following federal regulations from the major industries or corporate entities such as GM, Walmart, farming industries, JB Morgan chase, Comerica incorporated, American Express, and etc. Which is the large practice of economic regulation, that fell off the definition of free market capitalism.
@codeagent47 you gotta check the definition of capitalism. Alibaba group and ant financial ipo is the best example
@paidninja China is state capitalism.
@codeagent47 then what do you reckon they are? Democracy?
is China really communism though?
This is Damage Control by the sponsors.!!! Everyone knows whats up.
your name sounds like a Zulu name a lot.
When china opens it's markets to other countries without repercussions they will be treated fairly. It's really simple. As far as the verge I have lost all respect for them catering to the communist
This video is biased
Seriously? If I didn't know better, id think you are being compensated for this video. Oh wait I do know bettrr
This video is appropriate now that we chose China as our president
Yesss🙌 Its back....
Oh look at them playing the victim card now.
Free Hong Kong 🇭🇰 !
This is just a one sided video. Right now china is greatest threat to freedom
Love all the lens frames Ashley sports
Pras, the small details you pay attention to lol!
CCP:- Well done verge , your payment on your way
Japan and Korean companies dont face these challenges, so guess why China does? What did China do to US companies when they tried to enter China market?
As a reminder Google/Facebook/Twitter are all blocked in China prior to US blocking tictok.
Exactly
This story lies by omission. TikTok was found to be bundling user data inside an extra layer of encryption, including device MAC addresses. That violated Google policy set in 2015, and TikTok knew it, but did this anyway. But Jerry Yang here is whining about unfairness. It's not merely stigma if your company is actually doing things behind users backs.
If you ever feel useless , Then remind yourself that there’s a security chief at Facebook
LOL you made feel more important than someone for the first time
This is just stupid. I can’t believe we still have this crappy problem of racism in almost 2021.
presented by genesis uhh
Not only American companies, but China also bans Japanese and Korean software products and services. Kakao Talk, Line are both banned in China. So yeah Karma !
Technically, India also has the biggest trade protectionism in the world.
Thank you for saying it like it is
Sameer , more karma is needed here
In the future, China still makes copied products. But, more great products are coming it of China too. I mean, never say never, right? Japan used to copy too. Now, they do pretty good at hardwares. Everything chanes. Stereotypes comes and goes.
That’s what I thought. You know it!
@TRD TREKKER what do you think?
Are you justifying?
Excellent video! Bravo!
The problem is there needs to be a worldwide standard of electronics. or 5 laws that cannot be broken
Screw china 🖕🏻
narrow-minded and arrogant Americans know nothing about the world, so funny
I don’t see how this is in anyway biased
This was so biased
This take was completely tone deaf and biased. Shut up, Verge.
You gotta keep a low profile so you can ditch in a moment notice.
Great report Ashley. Oh, and nice top :).
Well, do a piece on how China restricts foreign companies, and quit normalising the firewall.
@krypto1804 They already did some videos on that. This is a different story so it wouldn’t be ten hours long. The Verge covers all those issues all the time, go check out the website. They’ve written about human rights violations in China, corrupt businesses buying American companies and ruining the working environment, crappy products that make the reviewers bleed, Foxconn’s big Wisconsin scam.... etc.
They don't get paid for that kind of stories 🥴
Yea no thanks
There are many copycats companies in China, but there are also many innovative companies as well.
Wow, Zoom partnered with Facebook's former security chief. We all know how secure Facebook is.
They don’t need security from you I think they need it from hackers or can break in apps easily maybe I don’t know the correct word for it
Wait , Facebook has a “security chief”?? Atleast , whenever I feel useless , I can remind myself that there’s a security chief at Facebook
It’s got nothing to do with the look of the product, nor does it have anything to do with the people or their culture. It’s because I have to ask myself, “who made this and did they do this work willingly?”.
1:51 “So much innovation coming from the country...” Yes but WHICH country? Copying something for cheap doesn’t equate innovation sis
Just move your brand to Taiwan and you'll be safe 🤷🏽♀️
If only trump could be president for one more term and deal with China the way it deserves.
People calling out that this story is bias don't realize that this video is covering one side of the coin
Belief. LetMusicBurn. Oppoty. And more importantly, Nevergiveup!
why doesn't Japan, South Korea or Taiwan have these problems?
@Mitchell Lee ... CCP doesn’t go by the rules!
'Cause they dont apply slavery
They used to. When Japan, SK and Taiwan were rebuilding in the post war eras, Made in XYZ was seen as a mark of cheapness.
@Mitchell Lee because they don't devalue their currency that makes everything dirt cheap and kills the local industry.
@Mitchell Lee also they don’t blatantly violate child labor laws, kill Uyghur Muslims , steal intellectual properties, and don’t have a dictator
If China would allow our companies to freely enter their market without boatloads of scrutiny and red tape then we’d be less suspicious of the products and motivations of their companies over here. I think that and concerns about quality and privacy are the main issues.
China has changed quite a lot over the years. Still, ignorance and stereotype thinking of the western people prevents them from acknowledging China is actually leading the innovation in many areas. Whenever something new comes out of China, the first thing western can think of is China must steal from somewhere. I find it's funny to say FB and Google are treating their customer's privacy with care. But it's ok simply because they are USA companies; it has nothing to do with their actual business practice.
Yea but it’s still a authoritarian communist dictatorship
This pandemic it’s all China’s Fault. They destroyed our western society. Screw china.
laughs in Nortel.
This was so cool and interesting
Even if some of you criticize China in the comments, I think it is important to still value these entrepreneurs that make cool new innovative products and just happen to be from China.
“Facebook’s former security chief” oh the irony 😂😂😂
@Dee Dee Cool, enjoy your little delusion, have fun.
@Desmond Hawkins if it quacks like a duck
@Dee Dee You seem confused. What is it anywhere in this thread that made you think anyone mentioned or commenting might be a white nationalist? Do you find that you have a talent for connecting the dots and seeing patterns others haven't noticed?
@iambryan1234 do you get your 10 cents from Pompeo?
@Desmond Hawkins I smell the stench of a white nationalist low life
Karma
A video presented by Genesis.. a re-branded Hyundai.. 😜
Such a stupid comment!
It like saying Honor is a re-branded Huawei. It have been made just to suit the consumers out of Asia
They're not rebranded Hyundai cars bro
thats like saying Audi is a rebranded Volkswagen
You know that Hyundai is Korean right?
And the point is ???
??
But you know whats funny? The NSA itself is spying on everyone including the people in America...Thats the reason why FB isn't available in China...
