Zhou Qunfei: The Founder of Lens Technology

            (Alvin Huang’s post from the FACEBOOK on 16 May2026.)

Touch your phone screen right now. Feel how smooth it is. There's a decent chance the glass under your fingertip was made by a woman who grew up raising pigs and ducks in a village in Hunan province, dropped out of school at 16, and took a factory job making watch lenses for less than a dollar a day.

Her name is Zhou Qunfei. She's the founder of Lens Technology, the company that makes the cover glass for Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Tesla. She's worth over US$18 billion. She's the world's fourth richest self-made woman. And the entire thing started with a resignation letter.

Zhou was born in 1970 in Xiangxiang, Hunan, the youngest of three children in a family shaped by loss. Before she was born, her father, a former soldier, lost a finger and most of his eyesight in an industrial accident.

He supported the family by weaving bamboo baskets, making chairs, and repairing bicycles. Her mother died when she was five. The girl helped her family raise animals for food and whatever small income they could manage.

Chinese In Australia Will Be Forced Into Citizenship!

     (Kos Samara’s post from the FACEBOOK on 14 May2026.)

(Opposition Leader) Angus Taylor’s Budget in reply. Why has he just turned the blow torch on Chinese Australians? “You cannot access certain government services (such as Age Pension, Dole, and Carer Allowances, etc.) if you are not an Australian citizen, even if you are granted permanent residency.”

The core issue is simple: China does not recognise dual nationality. Under Article 3 of China’s Nationality Law, China does not recognise dual nationality for any Chinese national. Article 9 goes further, any Chinese national who has settled abroad and voluntarily acquires foreign nationality automatically loses their Chinese nationality.

No other major country Australia takes migrants from has this strict a rule. So for a China-born Chinese Australian, taking Australian citizenship is not an administrative step. It is, in legal terms, a severing.
