† “Huawei had over 188,000 employees as of September 2018, around 76,000 of them engaged in Research & Development (R&D)” (I presume Apple has tens of thousands employed in r&d, anybody any idea roughly how many?)

edit: sigh



What fraction of Huawei's employees work on mobile phones?


No idea. Good question.
