You seldom see a competitor commenting on other CEO but Lenovo head, Liu Chuanzhi did that and that too, in the interest of his own company. Liu says Apple’s CEO they’re lucky because “Steve Jobs has such a bad temper and doesn’t care about China.”
If he were to then Liu believes that Lenovo could “be in trouble”. Lenovo is resurging from the financial crisis and its main focus is the domestic market but Apple has failed to woo the Chinese consumers despite the demand for their products. The iPhone sells officially via China Unicom but is marred by sluggish sales, mainly due to its high price than the grey channels.
Another reason Liu feels that Chinese people prefer their product is due to the fact that they tailor their products according to the Chinese market.
