The extraction of Chinese workers from the factory of Yuzhan Technology, a Foxconn component unit, in southern Tamil Nadu state is the second such move in a few months. Foxconn has started flying in engineers from Taiwan<\/span> to replace staff leaving, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be named as the information is private.<\/div>\n
Earlier this year, officials in Beijing verbally encouraged regulatory agencies and local governments to curb technology transfers and equipment exports to India and Southeast Asia<\/span> in what is a potential attempt to prevent companies from shifting manufacturing elsewhere. It wasn’t immediately clear why the Foxconn workers were sent home, but the move yet again underscores the sway that Chinese technicians and the supply chain hold over the manufacturing of high-precision engineered products such as Apple’s iPhone.<\/div>\n

The Economic Times earlier reported that Yuzhan’s Chinese staff were leaving. Last month, Bloomberg News reported that Foxconn had asked hundreds of Chinese engineers and technicians to return home from its iPhone factories in India.<\/p>\n

The Yuzhan factory makes enclosures, or metal cases, and display modules for older iPhone models and isn’t working on the latest iPhone 17 line as yet. It began production just months ago, and Apple still imports a bulk of its displays, the people said.<\/p>\n
