Eat and smash the pot?Shut down 12 billion factories and evacuate the mainland market, foreign media

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-29

As we all know, under the bath of the spring breeze of reform and opening up, China's economy, science and technology and many other fields have ushered in rapid development, especially in the field of science and technology, chip design, communications, etc. have caught up with or even surpassed the United States and other Western countries. However, in order to consolidate its "world hegemon" status, the United States forcibly launched a "science and technology war" against China, and Apple, as the most influential technology company in the Chinese market, has become the vanguard of the "decoupling and breaking the chain" of the United States. Public data shows that in the past three years alone, Apple has kicked dozens of Chinese enterprises out of the Apple chain, and has also joined hands with Foxconn and other foundries and downstream manufacturers to transfer a large amount of production capacity out of the mainland market.

It is worth noting that in order to tightly hug Apple's "thigh", Foxconn actively responded to Apple's "de-China" strategy, and continued to shift its future development focus to overseas markets such as Southeast Asia and India, and for this reason, it did not hesitate to close dozens of mainland factories and lay off about 300,000 mainland employees. Not only that, Foxconn also plans to transfer 300 billion production capacity to the Indian market by 2026, which is expected to bring 100,000 jobs to India. It can be said that Foxconn, which is backed by the rise of the Chinese market, does not know how to think of the source of drinking water, and does not take into account the economic losses brought by the transfer of production capacity to the mainland market

As the saying goes, there must be rain when the sky is mad, and there must be disaster when people are crazy, after the development of Guo Taiming, not only did not actively cooperate with mainland enterprises, but followed Apple to engage in "decoupling and breaking the chain" with Chinese enterprises. For Foxconn's practice of "eating and smashing the pot", China did not have the slightest mercy, and the relevant departments quickly conducted a joint review of Foxconn and punished its violations.

Foxconn, which was bent on following Apple to transfer a large amount of production capacity to India, not only did not get more Apple orders, but was even "marginalized" by Apple, and the orders were divided by foundry companies such as Luxshare Precision. In addition, the well-known Indian enterprise Tata Group entered the Apple ** chain through mergers and acquisitions, and launched a comprehensive competition with Foxconn. Obviously, Foxconn's bet on the future in India is not a wise choice!

However, what people never expected was that after Foxconn relocated its production capacity on a large scale, another Taiwanese OEM giant chose to shut down a factory worth 12 billion yuan, leaving behind 100,000 mainland employees and began to move out of the mainland market. It is worth noting that Pegatron's factory scale in the mainland market is not as large as Foxconn, but it has a great reputation in the assembly of electronic products such as notebooks, with an annual output of more than 90 billion!Regarding Pegatron's sudden decision, some foreign media called it: the second Foxconn that "eats and smashes the pot"!

It can be said that Pegatron's sudden decision to move out of the mainland market is really incredible, after all, Foxconn has just been put on file for review, is it afraid of becoming the next Foxconn?In this regard, industry insiders said that Huawei's strong return in the smartphone market may be the main reason for Pegatron to leave the mainland market, because of the emergence of the Huawei Mate 60 series, Apple's market share in China has ushered in huge pressure, sales have declined seriously, and it has gradually lost its right to speak in the industry. As Apple's OEM company, Pegatron will naturally not have a good time, coupled with Apple's accelerated "separation" to reduce its dependence on Chinese enterprises and the Chinese market and the relocation of production capacity, Pegatron's mainland factory orders are also nearly "cut in half", in order to get more Apple orders, Pegatron will naturally follow Apple to move production capacity.

So, in the case of Foxconn, Pegatron and other OEM giants successively closing factories in the mainland, will it cause a wave of unemployment in the Chinese market and a heavy blow to the manufacturing industry?The answer is obviously no, because with the rapid development of science and technology, many excellent enterprises have emerged in China, far more than Foxconn, Pegatron and other low value-added OEM enterprises, such as BYD, Luxshare Precision, Fuyao Glass and other outstanding Chinese enterprises, fully capable of filling the market gap. There is no doubt that they are the ones who are bent on following Apple to relocate production capacity and engage in "decoupling and breaking the chain", and they are the ones who suffer.

Of course, although there is no shortage of foundry companies such as Foxconn and Pegatron in our mainland market today, we cannot take it lightly. Before the completion of the high-end transformation from "Made in China" to "Made in China", we must always keep in mind the mission, give up all illusions, accelerate the construction and upgrading of the high-end industrial chain, and increase efforts to support the development of local science and technology enterprises, only in this way can we be invincible in the future scientific and technological competition!If you agree, please like!
