As I understand it, it's not just low wages but also the supply chain ecosystem. Anything you could possibly need for high-tech product manufacturing is available locally in Shenzen.

- ben_w 5y agoMost international supply chains are unaffected by the pandemic. Looking at the UK in particular, Brexit had a bigger impact on supply chains than the pandemic, but even there (IIRC the UK is short of about 100k truck drivers and having problems even with some domestic supply chains) the international supply chains are mostly still in place.

I work in IT infrastructure and we were told by suppliers that there are going to be major delays in equipment orders due to the pandemic disrupting the supply chain. This is going to affect multiple industries for the next year or so.
