Counterpoint: Nokia was the 9th smartphone brand globally by shipments Comments
Why is it that Lenovo and Motorola are combined but Oppo and Vivo aren't?
They would beat Huawei and Apple if they were.

Hmd sells a lot in China cause that is where the market is. They are slowly expanding their footprint. However calling them Chinese when everyone else makes phones in cheap markets is silly.

Can someone explain with facts as to why HMD Global Oy is a Chinese company? Try not to beat around the bush.

From the market that have them the most and are sold for the most units. So the money for the products mostly come from China's people who buy there products.

I can get Nokias too with insane delay and have them around every shop in here.
If i want support by them i need to contact them trough the retailer that sold me there device.
I can do it directly with them too, but thats not the same where you would go to a shop that do only Nokia devices. I have Apple shops all around who deal only apple products and are allowed by Apple to repair them or replace them. I dont have Xiaomi shops around by heard there are few in Europe already.

Is this a Brand or a Company statistic?
If it's Brand, it should state Nokia not HMD, and Lenovo/Motorola should be separate brands.
If it's per company, I still don't understand why don't count BBK Electronics as a whole, they are the third biggest smartphone company if you add their brands Oppo, Vivo and Oneplus sales.
I feel this is inconsistent.

Do... morePost. Sources.
All you've posted so far have been baseless conspiracy theories and made-up claims.

Do you even know the etymytology of the word ”ginko”? It might open your eyes a bit.
If you have a hard time accepting the fact that HMD is a Chinese operation it’s not my problem and calling those who talk about things how they really are conspiracy theorists only make your arguments even less credible.
Anonymous, 02 Aug 2018If you want to follow that path; there's nothing that proves that they aren't mostly controlle... moreExcept the major investments comes from the HMD founder Jean-Francois Baril's venture capital company Ginko Ventures in Switzerland. The investments from Chinese companies are made from their own respective companies, not via proxy companies. What you are proposing is a conspiracy theory worthy of the biggest tin-foil hat the world can make for you.
