Egyptians buy into Chinese products

CAIRO - "Guangzhou" was written in large blue Arabic letters on the storefront sign of a mobile phone shop in a populous neighborhood south of the Egyptian capital Cairo.

"I chose to name my store as Guangzhou because all smartphone accessories come from China's big city of Guangzhou, including screens, screen protectors, covers and others," said Ali Mandour, the store owner.

Meanwhile, Adel Muawad, a driver in his 50s, was taking a look through the storefront before he came in with a Huawei mobile phone and asked to change its screen protector.
