Can you expand on this? Are you talking about consumers wanting to buy chinese brands (eg. huawei instead of apple), or some sort of officially state sanctioned brand?
This so called national team, is a myth. It never manifests itself.

That's simply a human nature-driven market econmomy law. Chinese people are not living in an alternative universe where economy laws do not apply.
