The article seems to hinge around China and etc more than most things. I do wonder how capable any company is to move manufacturing out of China at any kind of large scale.


Boomberg was always very apologetic of China, if not to say bordering on lobbying for them.

No wonder, Bloomber is one of very, very, very few Western media operating in China through a franchise agreement.


Bloomberg also wrote the piece where they claimed China had infiltrated Apple, though.


China recently arrested Bloomberg editor Haze Fan, so robust criticism of China could adversely affect her case.

In the past I have found Bloomberg pretty impartial on China, with good criticism and analysis of China's policies.


I’m in awe at how well China utilizes its soft power on the world stage.


You mean the Bloomberg that published the Super Micro chip story?


Foxconn will just build a factory wherever Apple asks them to. Most recently, India. Next option, Vietnam.

It’s not hard to leave China. It’s hard to leave China for the US.


Samsung moved most or all of their factories from China recently.


But Korea is more export oriented than China (proportionally) and actually has expertise in these matters.


Samsung are vertically integrated, but Apple just outsource manufacturing to Foxconn, which has more expertise in the manufacturing of small electronics than Samsung.

And Foxconn have been told to bring up Apple supply lines in India.
