At present, the trade conflict between China and the United States has lasted for quite a long time, and many American legal enterprises have stood in line to show their positions, but obviously there is no Apple among them. In his previous visit, Apple CEO Cook firmly expressed optimism about the peaceful settlement of trade disputes between China and the United States, and the current constraints are all short-term.
No, the Wall Street Journal reported on June 28th that Apple simply moved the production of the new Mac pro computer to China this time. You know, the tariffs imposed by Trump will still greatly increase the cost of products produced in China, and the prices of notebooks such as Apple's iphone and mac book are already quite high, and the tariffs will undoubtedly reduce Apple's already declining sales worldwide.
However, judging from Apple's actions, Apple's position on the peaceful settlement of a Sino-US trade war can be said to be very firm. We must know that the Trump administration has been calling on American technology companies to move manufacturing back to the United States in addition to finding faults around the world. Although there are not many companies responding, there are few companies that have moved production out of the United States like Apple. Many netizens have said that Lenovo should learn from Apple. When the United States imposes tariffs, Lenovo's first reaction is that Lenovo can move its production line from China out of China at any time to avoid the rising cost caused by trade tariffs. Apple is obviously more recognized.
actually, does apple really have China's heart? In the final analysis, it is just an enterprise, and corporate profit is still its main purpose. When it comes to the efficiency of production and labor, and the corresponding speed of supply chain, China has almost no competitors in the world now, and the title of world factory is not covered. If Apple wants its new products to climb the production capacity quickly and enter the market quickly, it is undoubtedly the wisest decision to produce them in China.
Apple's Mac Pro desktop computer is not manufactured by Foxconn, but by Quanta, which is the main OEM of Apple's computer. This year, Quanta mainly manufactures Apple's mac book notebooks and apple watch smart watches. Quanta has four OEM factories in China and is also a giant in the OEM field. In fact, the American science and technology field has enjoyed the high premium brought by technology, and Apple mobile phones account for 7% of the profits of the mobile phone industry. Qualcomm, Micron and other chips in the United States have also made a lot of profits because of their advanced patented technology. It is obviously too greedy for the United States to monopolize high-tech products and create jobs by using low-end manufacturing. Netizens also gave the United States a trick to let American workers come to Foxconn to see if they can do this work intensity. They only took a few thousand yuan to know why American technology companies came to China to manufacture and produce products.
