Let's talk to you today: Apple is trying its best to "evacuate" China? The final "bitter fruit" can only be swallowed by Cook himself!
The debate about "Apple relies on the Chinese market" or "the Chinese market relies on Apple" has lasted for several years without a clear statement, and can only be summarized as "interdependence", and Cook once said that "Apple can not do without the Chinese market", but we all know that Cook is not "honest", what he says with his mouth and what he does behind his back are completely different things.
From Apple wants to "withdraw" the OEM order from China, what Cook said in his mouth has no one to believe, Cook as early as many years ago, there was the idea of transferring the production line, the purpose of this is to save costs, naturally aimed at the Southeast Asian market with low labor costs, Apple's orders have indeed created a lot of economic benefits for the country, but if Apple will transfer the industrial chain, who will lose more?
The reason for Cook's transfer of capacity
China has become the country with the strongest comprehensive strength, as the world's largest consumption market, every enterprise wants to enter the Chinese market to share resources, and it is precisely because the country adheres to an open and fair attitude of cooperation, the overall strength can develop so fast, as the world's second largest economy, obviously has let Lao Mei feel a certain pressure, in order to maintain the leading edge in the industry, can only try to limit our development.
In this restriction process, many multinational enterprises in China have been greatly affected, and among them, U.S. companies are naturally not spared, to say that Apple transferred production capacity to obtain greater benefits, in fact, a large part of the reason is the relevant restrictions, Huawei's advanced technology has made them jealous, so they will limit our access to the use of the most advanced technology to the greatest extent.
From the chip field, it can be clearly seen that the Decline in the Manufacturing Industry in the United States, in order to save such a decline, they hope that all companies will transfer production capacity to the United States, and U.S. companies have naturally become the target of the object, Cook naturally also found this, in order to "temporarily avoid the front", accelerated the production capacity to Southeast Asia plan.
China has a complete industrial chain, today's Apple is indeed inseparable from the Chinese market, and China relies on Apple's orders to provide a lot of jobs, but also does exist interdependence, although Apple to the Southeast Asian market, indeed can save a large part of the labor costs, but it means that all the industrial chain needs to be rearranged, plus this part of the need to consume the funds, everything is not so simple.
Is there a way for Apple to "evacuate" China?
Whether it is the pressure of relevant restrictions, or for the purpose of obtaining more benefits, Apple wants to transfer all the production capacity within a few years, it is almost impossible to achieve, the problems that exist are impossible for Apple to solve, and it is very likely that the transfer of production capacity will affect the market share in the Chinese market, which is a problem that Cook must consider.
Most of Apple's revenue comes from the Chinese market, the market share exceeds 23%, and it is the only mobile phone manufacturer in China that has reached more than 20%, after Samsung was squeezed out of the Chinese market, Huawei's shipments were limited, the biggest beneficiary is Apple, although Apple mobile phones can get so much sales, most of the reasons are still due to their own strong strength, but the industrial chain layout in the country is also a detail that cannot be ignored.
If Apple transfers all the production capacity, the iPhone will become "pure import" after entering the country, then the current tax rate can no longer be applied, the price of the mobile phone will definitely increase a lot, then there will be no advantage in the brand competitiveness, after all, the current domestic mobile phone is also doing very well, once the Huawei mobile phone restores the corresponding authorization, then Apple's advantages will be further reduced.
The Chinese market will give Apple so many favorable conditions, the main reason is that Apple put the production capacity in the country, and the manufacturing level of many domestic enterprises is formulated according to apple's needs, China's manufacturing level is currently unquestionable, once transferred to the Southeast Asian market, not only will there be problems in the industrial chain, the manufacturing process will certainly not meet the standard, once the use of non-standard accessories, Apple mobile phones in quality control can not get effective guarantees, This will also greatly reduce the quality of Apple's mobile phones.
And on these issues, Foxconn is deeply experienced, in the Southeast Asian market factories, the output ratio simply can not meet the corresponding standards, can not meet the corresponding demand, equivalent to all the money is basically adrift, and Apple in the domestic suppliers as many as more than seventy, although the core components are not used domestic, but a mobile phone not only needs chips, screens and other key components, many seemingly inconspicuous parts, but also played a vital position.
China's manufacturing industry already has its own set of complete industrial chain, even if Apple withdraws from China, it will soon find the corresponding customers, and Apple has long been different, after leaving the Chinese market, basically can not find a factory that can formulate the corresponding process according to customer needs, so forced withdrawal from the Chinese market, the unfortunate can only be Apple, if Cook insists on going his own way, the final bitter fruit can only be "swallowed"!
