Xiaomi Arrives As Top Smartphone Seller In China

New submitter redseo writes Xiaomi, known as the Apple of China, and recently enjoying its new-found fame and glory in the Indian market, has achieved yet another milestone. It has overtaken Samsung, to become China's best selling smartphone manufacturer, in Q2 2014. Xiaomi sold total of 15 million smartphones in China in Q2, which is a three-fold increase from a year ago. That's pretty good for a company founded only four years ago, with no stores of its own. (And though Xiaomi's phones are not widely sold in the U.S., they're offered by third-party sellers on Amazon and elsewhere; CNet has mostly good things to say about the company's Mi 3.)

China is not imperialistic. It never has been. When's the last time China sent an army to the other side of the globe?

England did, quite often. The USA does today, quite often. The USSR did often as well. But China has never been imperialistic. They don't care what happens in the USA, except so far as it affects them.
