Apple’s India push tested as Foxconn recalls 300 Chinese staff
The recall of engineers is the second in recent months, and comes as Beijing reportedly curbs tech exports to prevent manufacturing departures
Apple assembly partner Foxconn has recalled about 300 Chinese engineers from a factory in India, the latest setback for the iPhone maker’s push to rapidly expand in the country.
The
extraction of Chinese workers from the factory of Yuzhan Technology, a
Foxconn component unit, in southern Tamil Nadu state is the second such
move in a few months. Foxconn has started flying in engineers from Taiwan to replace staff leaving, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be named as the information is private.
Earlier
this year, officials in Beijing verbally encouraged regulatory agencies
and local governments to curb technology transfers and equipment
exports to India and Southeast Asia
in what is a potential attempt to prevent companies from shifting
manufacturing elsewhere. It wasn’t immediately clear why the Foxconn
workers were sent home, but the move yet again underscores the sway that
Chinese technicians and the supply chain hold over the manufacturing of
high-precision engineered products such as Apple’s iPhone.
