You said "US is by far the only market that Chinese phones haven't dominated"
So Chinese phone manufacturers making up 1/3 of the European market, as per your link, is them dominating it??? Chinese phones don't dominate worldwide in the sense of geography. They dominate worldwide in the sense of units because they are the low margin, budget phone manufacturers supplying lower income parts of the world. Not a bad place to be, but doesn't remotely support your assertion above that the US is the only market they don't dominate. That's obviously wrong just from your own sources.
While you're partially right, I wouldn't look at the smartphone sales trends if I were you... Chinese phones were at something like 1% 5 years ago and now they're at 45%. There's also not much sign of them slowing down.
Samsung was basically saved from being overtaken by Huawei as #1 by Trump's ban.
The higher end Huawei devices were nearly as good, but significantly lower priced, or better for similar pricing. Was actually considering a Matebook as a future laptop purchase in a year or so.

Considering that a lot or most of the iPhones and Samsung phones sold (well, before the moving out) were also made in China, yes. The 1/3 you mention are just the Chinese brands....
