1. Project 1: How to Win in the High End Market? Tsinghua – Xiaomi Tsinghua – Xiaomi Business Project About Xiaomi Xiaomi was founded in 2010 by entrepreneur Lei Jun, who believes that high-quality technology doesn't need to cost a fortune. We create remarkable hardware, software, and internet services for and with the help of our Mi fans. We incorporate their feedback into our product range, which currently includes the Mi Mix 2, Mi Note 3, Mi 6, Mi 5X, Mi Max 2, Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi 5, Redmi Note 5A, Redmi 5A, Mi TV, Mi Band and other accessories. With more than 90 million handsets sold in 2017, and products launched in India, Indonesia, Russia, Spain, Singapore, Malaysia, Xiaomi is expanding its footprint across the world to become a global brand. About Xiaomi India Xiaomi expanded to India in July 2014. We were warmly welcomed by Mi fans when we launched with our flagship device - Mi 3. Every week a few hundred thousand people would turn up for the sale, and we went out of stock in mere seconds on multiple occasions. To date, Xiaomi has sold over 30M smartphones in India. Xiaomi started selling its products exclusively on Flipkart, but has now expanded to include five online partners in total — Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal, Tata Cliq and Paytm. We also sell through our e-commerce portal called Mi.com and today we have more than 10 Million installs of our Mi Store app on Google Play. We have opened many Mi Homes in major cities and also engaged with some offline distributors with a direct-to-retail model. According to IDC, Xiaomi became the 5th-largest smartphone company in India with a 4% market share in Q4 2014, a result that was achieved in just five months. It also reached 1 million devices sold in India in December 2014. Recently in Q4 2017, Xiaomi continued to be the No. 1 smartphone brand in India with 25% market share as per Counterpoint. We initiated our Make in India program in January 2015, and within 6 months set up a plant in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh with Foxconn. Currently more than 95% of our devices sold in India are made in India. Xiaomi has been dominant in the price band from 5k to 15k INR. However, we’re capturing a limited market share in the high end segment (>20k INR) and the super low end segment (<5k INR). So it’s becoming more and more significant for us to consider whether we should expand into those segments. If yes, what should we do to achieve a good market share there? 1.

Handset ODM Industry White Paper 02 Handset ODM market review and outlook In 2019, the global smartphone market shipped 1.38 billion units, down 2.2% year-over- year (YoY). The mature markets such as North America, South America, Western Europe, and China all declined. China’s market though is going through a transition period from 4G to 5G, and the shipments of mid- to high-end 4G smartphone models fell sharply in 2H19. China’s market shipped 361 million smartphones in 2019, a YoY decline of 7.6%. In the early stage of 5G switching, the operator's network coverage was insufficient. Consequently, 5G chipset restrictions led to excessive costs, and expectations of 5G led to short-term consumption suppression. The proportion of 5G smartphone shipments was relatively small while shipments of mid- to high-end 4G models declined sharply. The overall shipment of smartphones from Chinese mobile phone manufacturers reached 733 million units, an increase of 4.2% YoY.

  • Section 3: China's Strategic Aims in Africa
    SECTION 3: CHINA’S STRATEGIC AIMS IN AFRICA Key Findings • Beijing has long viewed African countries as occupying a cen- tral position in its efforts to increase China’s global influence and revise the international order. Over the last two decades, and especially under General Secretary of the Chinese Com- munist Party (CCP) Xi Jinping’s leadership since 2012, Beijing has launched new initiatives to transform Africa into a testing ground for the export of its governance system of state-led eco- nomic growth under one-party, authoritarian rule. • Beijing uses its influence in Africa to gain preferential access to Africa’s natural resources, open up markets for Chinese exports, and enlist African support for Chinese diplomatic priorities on and beyond the continent. The CCP flexibly tailors its approach to different African countries with the goal of instilling admira- tion and at times emulation of China’s alternative political and governance regime. • China is dependent on Africa for imports of fossil fuels and commodities constituting critical inputs in emerging technology products. Beijing has increased its control of African commodi- ties through strategic direct investment in oil fields, mines, and production facilities, as well as through resource-backed loans that call for in-kind payments of commodities. This control threatens the ability of U.S. companies to access key supplies. • As the top bilateral financier of infrastructure projects across Africa, China plays an important role in addressing the short- age of infrastructure on the continent. China’s financing is opaque and often comes with onerous terms, however, leading to rising concerns of economic exploitation, dependency, and po- litical coercion.

As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders.

Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, income inequality, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: Jacques Bughin, Jonathan Woetzel, and James Manyika, who also serves as the chairman of MGI. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, Anu Madgavkar, Jan Mischke, Sree Ramaswamy, and Jaana Remes are MGI partners, and Mekala Krishnan and Jeongmin Seong are MGI senior fellows.
