-->

China Wireless Technologies (2369.HK)  

Market cap $850M USD.  Second largest vendor by sales of its own brand smartphones. "Coolpad"  90% of sales through China's three mobile carriers.  Dual SIM.  Sole listed pure-play smartphone maker in China. One third of share price is cash on balance sheet.  He says, "not too many people in China knows who Steve Jobs is."
 

MediaTek (2454.TW)  

Fabless IC design house that makes SoCs for mobile devices.  Enables the "white box" mobile device sector in China.  Main competitor for QCOM.  Lots of IP, major clients. 

Says strong corporate DNA.  Growing market in China.  Low debt.  Upside of 23-28%.

Risks are competition by QCOM and SPRD.  Also clients like Huawei develop in-house.  He says lowcost iPhone 5C is not a risk.
