If you know Chinese and spend time on their sites&social media, you'll know what I mean.Is there a study/report that confirms the existence of this peer pressure? If so, can you share a link to it?

It's a niche market and high upfront cost. If there's one, probably due to US starts banning Japanese manufacturers export photography gears to China.The question that needs to be asked is why isn't there a Chinese brand MILC?
Canon seems to be hated by "enthusiasts" everywhere but they still sell a lot of cameras including in China.I don't know much about the Japanese community, but majority of the Chinese enthusiasts still hate Canon
I am seeing that everywhere though.There's strong peer pressure to push CanNikon users to dump their existing good gear for switching to $ony.

Omnivision is, but they are earning a lot in smartphone cmos, financially there’s no urge to step into the higher cost/lower revenue MILC APS-C/FF cmos business.The only part I suspect they lack current engineering on is the sensor (manufacturing).
Chinese EVs are now flooding the market and are so cheap that import tariffs of 100% are being put in place to even out the playing field.
Many lenses are already made in China so the know how for lenses is already in their manufacturing base.
So yes. I am puzzled at why there are no Chinese MILCs.
TL: DR cost of entry is not profitable.The only part I suspect they lack current engineering on is the sensor (manufacturing).

To introduce a mid level product, they would need to license a mount and Sony E mount is the only real option. M
yep, I agree L mount is another option.Who is doing the open mount? Sigma? Panasonic? Leica?
Most of the camera industry uses Sony sensors anyway.The only part I suspect they lack current engineering on is the sensor (manufacturing).
The Chinese dominate the point-and-shoot market plus they already make lenses.Omnivision is, but they are earning a lot in smartphone cmos, financially there’s no urge to step into the higher cost/lower revenue MILC APS-C/FF cmos business.
The L mount alliance is not open.Who is doing the open mount? Sigma? Panasonic? Leica?
Alliance alliance allianceXiaomi and Yongnuo tried m43. DJI is in Llllllll mount allllliiiiiiaaaannnncceeeeee
Kodak, Minolta, and a few nameless brands that sell for very cheap.which ones?
Aren’t they also Japanese?Kodak, Minolta, and a few nameless brands that sell for very cheap.
Canon is the only major brand with a point-and-shoot cheap enough to compete.
No, Kodak and Sony (who bought Minolta) license out to Chinese companies.Aren’t they also Japanese?
What are the Chinese company names?No, Kodak and Sony (who bought Minolta) license out to Chinese companies.
Kodak still makes film cameras though.
