Why did Apple’s Chinese staff exit India? Beijing had warned its officials…

Foxconn Technology Group has asked hundreds of Chinese engineers and technicians to return back from their iPhone factories in India. This move began about two months ago and over 300 Chinese staff have already left, a report by Bloomberg said. As of now, majorly the support staff from Taiwan is still in India.

The reason for Apple’s biggest iPhone assembler to make this move is unclear, but it comes after Beijing had earlier this year advised its officials to limit technology and equipment exports to India and Southeast Asia, possibly to stop companies from shifting manufacturing out of China, the Bloomberg report said.
