Talking about Anker:
A youTube channel that I find interesting, Wendover, did a piece in 2017 explaining the rise of the Chinese manufacturing industry. It includes a visit to Shenzhen, tour of the Anker factory and an interview with the CEO. The company, which was disclosed to have sponsored the trip, was used as a case study in the incredible electronics supply chain there. It also speaks to the branding issues there and long-term threats.
While the video may easily be considered advertising and / or propaganda, at least it speaks to Anker's intent to be a long-term player amidst a world of disposable Chinese brands.
