What Chinese newspaper has to say to Apple on ‘made-in-India’ iPhone – Times of India

0
Apple is rich and powerful, so it can have a try in India, Brazil, or everywhere else in the world, but one thing is for sure, it can’t find another China. Apple will consume the energy of its development gradually in attempting such a transfer, Chinese state-run publication People’s Daily has said. In an opinion piece published in Global Times, the publication has lashed out at what it calls Washington’s containment policy toward China. It also says that the move may eventually help Chinese companies and improve India-China trade relations.
Good for China in the long run
“On the surface, this may seem bad for China, but in the long run, it is a good thing for the country. It is not so much a test of smartphones made in China as it is a test of the US’ “decoupling” policy,” says the publication.
It further adds that the “result is likely to push Chinese smartphone manufacturing on the two tracks to accelerate forward – toward high-end and expansion of the world market, so that the US will eventually pay a heavy price for its “decoupling” policy.”
Apple may not find going easy in India
It also adds that Apple may not find the going easy in India. “Apple’s move to India may be successful, but the process must not be smooth, as it depends on how India can adjust its labor policies, and whether India can improve its labor ability in a short period of time, and keep up with basic facilities, infrastructure as well as services.” “If Apple’s presence is to survive and grow, it must be based on India’s improved policies and legal system, which will be beneficial for more foreign companies to enter India in the future,” it further adds.
Linkage between Chinese and Indian manufacturing industries to help China-India relations
The opinion piece also sees the move helping improve China-India relations. It sas that Apple has moved to India for assembly, but the vast majority of components for its iPhone and iPad, among other products, are still made outside India, including in China. Chinese suppliers account for more than 25 percent of the value of an iPhone and are in an upward trend in the iPhone production chain. This will help boost manufacturing linkage between Indian and Chinese companies.
“Chinese smartphones and its supporting enterprises will enlarge the linkage between Chinese and Indian manufacturing industries, form multiple industrial links, and ultimately promote the improvement of China-India relations. In the case of the US increasing its high-tech blockade of China, Chinese consumers will certainly not be as loyal “Apple fans” as they were in the past.” the edit adds.
