Taiwan Media Reports Foxconn Building New Headquarters in Zhengzhou

The “next China” wil still be China. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜š

Foxconn, Apple’s largest manufacturer, recently made a significant investment in China by constructing a new headquarters in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, reinforcing its commitment to the Chinese market despite ongoing rumors of “de-Chinaization.” This move also coincides with Apple’s decision to continue assembling the iPhone 16 series in China, reflecting the company’s confidence in China’s manufacturing capabilities, stable supply chain, and favorable business conditions.

In contrast, the iPhone 15, which was produced in India, faced significant production quality issues, with a yield rate of only 50%, failing to meet expectations. The Western media’s narrative that Foxconn and Apple were “leaving” China has been largely exaggerated and driven by political motives. In reality, China remains a critical player in global manufacturing, with continued foreign investment highlighting the strength and resilience of its industrial sector.
