Sources: Foxconn stops sending Chinese employees to iPhone factories in India and recalls already stationed staff, while China stalls equipment shipments
Well, the Chinese want a unipolar Asia and thus to contain India, maybe not through objects at the LAC as much given the recent military disengagement there. … X: Kyle Chan / @kyleichan : China is trying to stop workers and equipment from going to India's iPhone factories. This is big news: China is actively pushing back against “de-risking” and sees India in particular as a real manufacturing threat. @restofworld @violazhouyi @selina_cheng https://restofworld.org/... Selina Cheng / @selina_cheng : MY SCOOP w @violazhouyi 👉 Foxconn staff rotations to India stopped, Chinese expatriates to return home, & equipment exports are held up. Apple overcame tech challenges to make its iPhone Pro Maxes elsewhere, but now, new problems. An obvious one? https://restofworld.org/... Joanna Chiu / @joannachiu : Also big thanks to @kyleichan for the quick, incisive analysis on this story. “Maybe China is surprised, as many people were, by how quickly Apple was able to actually move some of its iPhone production to India.” https://restofworld.org/... Joanna Chiu / @joannachiu : Some sources say the Chinese government is responsible. If sustained, the suspensions are likely to hinder the broader ambition of Apple to develop next-generation iPhones in India as it tries to diversify production away from China. https://restofworld.org/... @restofworld @restofworld : “Many in India will read this in a very negative light, whether or not the Chinese government is involved directly.” Foxconn stops sending Chinese workers to India iPhone factories https://restofworld.org/...
