OT: The other day in one of Europe's biggest consumer electronics retail chain (MediaMarkt):

Why does Huawei has 3x more showroom space than all other smartphones manufacturers together, right in front of the entrance and this in every MediaMarkt? No other brand has such a setup.

The US is the only country trying to interfere and seeing potential and bigger threats.

Where have you seen this? I bought a phone at MediaMarkt yesterday in NRW and I haven't seen anything close to what you describe. I would put them head-to-head with Samsung, which sounds reasonable for a brand this big. But "3x more showroom that all other manufacturers together" feels a bit too much.

In cases such as these it really isn't useful to just name a company and not a location, because MediaMarkt is not homogenous. There can be and are big differences between separate stores and that makes your anecdotal report really weird for everyone that doesn't shop at the store that you do.

Is your argument that because Huawei spends more money on marketing at Mediamarkt than other companies it must be evil? I've seen the exact same for Apple products at Mediamarkt, where it in one case even had its own floor.

MediaMarkt in the Netherlands has a its own Samsung and Apple sections complete with personel. The Huawei section isn't really that big in the stores I've been in. Unless it massively changed in the past 2 months.
