Does anyone know how much of Apple’s hardware is actually manufactured in China? I realize this is a complicated question, as some is assuredly assembled outside of China. But as a total percentage of the supply chain at a component level ... how much is Chinese?
I’m going to wait for judgement on Apple’s actions here until I have more information.
- junipertea 7y agoWhat difference would it make? Apple and other companies follow the laws of countries they operate in, regardless of whether they produce there or not.
- remarkEon 7y agoIt makes a tremendous difference. If Apple can leverage some other aspect of their supply chain so that they can ignore any or some “requests” from the Chinese government ... that is a significant data point. If they can’t, well, that is also a significant data point about who has leverage over Apple.
