The retrenchment appears to be unrelated to efforts by the U.S. to convince its allies, including South Korea, to restrict their dealings with China in the technology sector amid a geopolitical feud involving Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies Co., a major competitor of Samsung’s.

Oops. Samsung Retreats From ‘Fake' Supreme Streetwear Brand

Samsung reconsiders its fake Supreme collaboration in China
Samsung caused controversy at the Chinese launch event of the Galaxy A8 earlier this week, when it announced it would be partnering with fashion brand Supreme for some kind of tech x streetwear collaboration (exactly what wasn't specified). The catch though, was that the partnership didn't involve the authentic New York Supreme label, but rather Supreme Italia -- a "legal fake" in Italy that manages to exist thanks to a bunch of intellectual property law loopholes. In a nutshell, Supreme NYC doesn't have the authorization to sell and market in China -- home to Samsung's biggest consumer base.

Why Apple won’t overtake Microsoft and regain the title of the most valuable U.S. company
