        This is probably already in Apple's plan to counter the import tariffs in India. The trade war and covid simply hasten things down.

              Sure, these fellas aren't perfect and there definitely are some challenges and occasional cultural hurdles of 'sloth', but nothing too different from doing business with China. In fact, its even a little easier.

              I strongly refute your claim that this is propaganda. In fact, I wonder if this isn't reverse propaganda from your side for whatever reason...?

                          No matter what this is a great news and I hope more manufacturing moves to India, Thailand, Vietnam etc. Diversification is great and creates a more dependable market. Everyone by now realises the danger of dealing with a Communist china where people don't even have a right to free speech. Kudos to foxconn and apple steer away of this ccp

It's a legit tactic to use imo if you want other countries to set up factories in your country and develop your country's manufacturing capabilities. And the Indian market is quite lucrative.
