BEIJING—Based on responses from 243,260 people across China, the China Telecommunications Association and Englewings Public Relations Corporation said Motorola was voted China’s most favored mobile-phone company.
Nearly 84 percent of respondents said they would buy only a foreign-branded phone. Domestic companies are trying to grab market share, but are facing an uphill battle.
A director of the State General Administration for Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine urged more than 40 Chinese mobile-phone manufacturers to unite and stop fierce competition. He also said they should increase their investment in research and development (R&D) and master the core technologies used in handset production.
