ORIGINAL

In my opinion, I think (good) when I buy something I will consider about its quality, not its “made in China” or “made in USA”. In fact, nowadays, a lot of products are made in China, the brand is not Chinese brands, but the product is made by Chinese people, so if we can in fact, a lot of my friends, when they change their phone they will not buy Apple again because they think Huawei’s quality is much more better than the iPhone. I think that’s a good situation in China.

CORRECTED

In my opinion, when I buy [purchase] something I consider its quality — not where it’s made. In fact, nowadays, a lot of products are made in China — the brand is not a Chinese brand, but the product is made by Chinese people. So a lot of my friends, when they are thinking about upgrading their phone they likely will not buy from Apple again because they think Huawei’s quality is much better [is superior to the iPhone] than the iPhone. I think that’s a good situation for China.

ORIGINAL

More times I will consider about the product’s results after I use this product. If after I use it and I don’t feel it suits me, I will change it, so matter its Chinese brand or American brand or Japanese brands its ok.

CORRECTED

More often I will consider the product’s results after I use the product. If after I use it, and I don’t feel it suits me, I will make a change/change it. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a Chinese brand or an American brand or a Japanese brand.
