Foxconn Sends Chinese Staff Home from India Amid Rising Tech Tensions, Will iPhone Output Be Hit?

Описание: Foxconn Technology Group has asked hundreds of Chinese engineers and technicians to return back from their iPhone factories in India. As per a report by Bloomberg, the move began about two months ago and over 300 Chinese staff have left so far. As of now, majorly the support staff from Taiwan is still in India.

As per the report, the reason for Apple’s biggest iPhone assembler to make this move is unclear, but it comes after Beijing had earlier this year advised its officials to limit technology and equipment exports to India and Southeast Asia, possibly to stop companies from shifting manufacturing out of China.

However, making iPhones in the US would be too expensive because of high labor costs. Also, if China stops its skilled workers from moving to the US, it would be even harder for Apple to start large-scale production at home.
