Just in case you hadn't seen this follow-up:
And some info even suggests that this B.A.C. company was a shell company owned by Israel:

By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation. They said at least two other shell companies were created as well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers: Israeli intelligence officers.
B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers.
USA and it's allies are just shoot themselves in the foot with this terror action.

Posts from Chinese social media, stating factories are running overnight shifts to accommodate huge orders of communication devices from the Middle East.
A requirement from clients, is that the whole manufacturing process must be done inside China.
Yeah, you can't do something this cartoonishly evil without it leaving a last impact on the reputation of both your country and it's products.
Sounds like a lot more opportunities to put some spicy batteries in Mid East bound electronic shipments.
This is how the US will console itself after losing billions in sales because of their unhinged little sis.
Naw homie, this had nothing to do with the USA. This is just some good Ol’ Mossad hijinks.
Also the west...
Those devices were rigged to blow by Israel, who then pulled the trigger.
someone please explain?
The little black box with a screen is a pager. Pagers have been in the news because Israel made a bunch of Hezbollah pagers splode, in case you somehow missed all of that.
Correction: They made pagers explode. Hazbollah preferred, not a necessity.
