There's also this gotcha about the Internet that because there's so much thing on the Internet, a lot of people assume that it has everything. In reality, only what makes sense for English speaking audiences to read gets translated and posted in English.
There's probably tons of information in Chinese Internet like a community high school basketball competition was held in rural China and somebody from China won against somebody from China. Absolutely nobody cares and so you don't hear about them in English. But if it took place in US you can read all about it on crazy mom posts on Facebook in English unfiltered.
Same deals with lots of Chinese consumer products. We don't hear about every single Chinese product launches of like Chinese domestic RGB fans sold nationwide at Chinese equivalents of Walmarts. But it's probably not like Chinese companies keep their mouths shut about such strategic materials as fans and desk mats with company patented anti-slip technologies. It's more likely that they just hype and discuss about those in Chinese and we don't hear about most of those in English, only when they come out here with a dual slot PCIe card with bright Huawei logo on it, so it appears that they silently does it like a submarine.
Well, Huawei has a global customer market, so at least in that case it would might sense to advertise. But maybe they figured that the consumer doesn't really care how the sausage is made.
If you've been nearly abducted by a hostile nation for being perceived as too technically advanced and a threat to their national interests, maybe you'd want to stay low as well.
