Microsoft sets ‘China deadline’ for suppliers, instructs: Help us prepare …
Microsoft is reportedly targeting a major overhaul of its manufacturing operations, with the aim to produce bulk of its upcoming hardware products outside China by as soon as the year 2026. This comes amid escalating US-China trade tensions. According to a report in Nikkei Asia, quoting sources, Microsoft wants to produce the majority of its new products outside of China as early as next year.
These initiatives underscore a broader push by American technology companies to disentangle their supply chains from China, driven by geopolitical risks and potential disruptions in bilateral relations.
