If China banns Apple, Apple would lose 30% of their business.
China should shut Apple manufacturing factories which are all located in china and cripple apple 100%.
Shutting down Apple Manufacturing facilities will not happen because it will be the beginning of the end of China communist party. The ripple effect will lead to collapse of the GOV and the ruling elites know that.
1. There will be immediate mass unemployment associated with Apple factories closure
2. It will signal other foreign manufactures that its time to open shops in other East Asia countries leading to a ripple and graduate shift of production by other companies to other countries creating a compounding long term increase unemployment.
3. China need technology and they are learning by having apple and other companies in their country.
With high unemployment the economy will slow down and the party will loose support from the masses
My thoughts exactly. China is in no position to bully any western country. All its manufacturing and all its market is in the west. Now that the west has seen that China is trying to show that its growing some balls. Manufacturing wil soon be moving to other Asian countries like Vietnam Thailand and Indonesia . Taiwan is also another destination.
That will be a long shot. Manufacturing is not just building factories, you will have to train those workers to be as efficient as those of the country you are leaving so I do not see any company making that kind of move.
These companies also want to sell to the 1B chinese population so leaving also implies leaving behind that market that they will find no where else.
That's why Walmart has alerted their customers to expect higher prices
Currently, Trump hasnt slapped tariffs on Apple products but if he imposes it on the rest of the items then the prices of Apple phones is bound to go up
The 1b market you are talking about is only made up of peasants. That's not the target market for Americans or EU. They will move elsewhere very fast. They will gamble and create efficiency elsewhere. I once saw on tv how Boeing constructed a factory from scratch and started making planes. If Africa had the right infrastructure like power and ports .. they could move here too we also have a 1b population(market)
You are a joke.
The Chinese middle class comprises of 420million people - That is more than the entire population of America.
McKinsey predicts 75% of the urban population will be termed as middle class in 2022.
The U.S. has taken the path of —deregulation, anti-labor laws, free trade, privatization, slashing social services, and letting banks run wild on speculation. The purpose was to enrich the top 1% by cutting labor costs through offshoring, and other programs.
China did the opposite—it built up manufacturing, continued to heavily regulate the economy and plan for it, maintained a nationalized financial system, and has been implementing retirement and healthcare benefits for its people.
The results speak for themselves
Boeing building a factory from scratch involved money expertise and labor no? Where else has Boeing operated. I know they opened a plant in China in December even with the tariff noise.
Note companies will always take the easy way out. Pass that extra bill to the consumer. If anything, China will manipulate the Yuan
