The lyrics do not exactly contain hidden depths:

Which phone is the most beautiful in the world? Everybody says it is Huawei. The battery is long-lasting, the phone looks good, Chinese microchips are the most precious!

The refrain, which is undeniably catchy, goes:

Huawei is good, Huawei is beautiful! Huawei gives me wisdom! Teacher tells me to love the motherland And Chinese-made smartphones, love Huawei!

During an instrumental break, the children play with what are presumably Huawei handsets and goof around in cute costumes. There is even a rap section, performed by a spirited youngster who says: “Huawei has won glory and splendor for the nation!”

The company, whose name means “China’s Achievement,” has expanded its business around the globe to an extent that few Chinese technology companies ever have. Huawei challenges Western powerhouses such as Apple and Nokia for leadership in smartphones and telecommunications equipment. Chinese people sometimes refer to the company as “the pride of the nation.”

Still, as the United States has tried to convince the world that Huawei operates under Beijing’s sway, the company has steadfastly emphasized that it is privately owned and has no ties to the government. That has not stopped Chinese officials from speaking out strongly in Huawei’s defense. And it has not dissuaded Chinese web users from rallying around the company in their own ways.

The tariff war with the United States has occasioned similar expressions of Chinese pride, though these do not appear to have dampened sales of American products in a large way. Apple’s sales have weakened in China of late, but industry observers say China’s economic slowdown and the iPhone’s hefty price tag have been bigger factors than surging nationalism.
