Atef al-Otaifi, manager of Otaifi Electric store at Abdel-Aziz Street, complained that "Chinese products are good, but our greedy importers only bring the cheapest, worst-quality products to Egypt. "

Some distributors even traveled to Dubai on regular basis to smuggle Chinese-made cell phones to Egypt, just to avoid taxes and customs.

A mobile phone trader at Abdel-Aziz Street, who only revealed his name as "Alaa," told Xinhua that Egyptian police recently seized 6,500 smuggled cell phones from a fellow trader of his.

Interestingly, some Chinese brands, popular at home, were not well received by Egyptian customers. Citing the example of Haier, Otaifi noted that after it began to be assembled in Egypt, the products became more saleable and popular.
