Amazon, HP and other tech giants may move production out of China

New Delhi: In yet another fall-out of the ongoing US-China trade war, tech giants like HP Inc, Dell, Microsoft and Amazon are considering to move “substantial production capacity out of China”, threatening the country’s position as the world’s technology powerhouse.
According to a report in Nikkei Asian Review on Thursday, HP and Dell who make notebooks in the Chinese cities of Chongqing and Kunshan are both looking to move up to 30 per cent of their laptop production out of the country.
Microsoft may move some Xbox gaming console production while Amazon could shift production of its Kindles and Echo speakers.
“Other PC makers like Lenovo Group, Acer and Asustek are also exploring production outside of China,” said the report.
