iPhone shift to India: Govt tells Chinese engineers to leave; Foxconn responds
Foxconn has asked hundreds of Chinese engineers to leave its iPhone factories in India, impacting Apple's manufacturing expansion plans. This withdrawal, potentially linked to Beijing's efforts to curb technology transfers, slows down workforce training and technology transfer. Foxconn is mitigating the impact by replacing Chinese staff with Taiwanese and Vietnamese workers and retrofitting machinery for Indian employees.
