>Google is moving aggressively to shift production of its Pixel smartphone from China to Vietnam as it seeks to build a low-cost supply chain in Southeast Asia that will serve as a springboard for its growing hardware ambitions. >Working with a partner, Google started work this summer to convert an old Nokia factory in the northern Vietnamese province of Bac Ninh to handle production of Pixel phones, two people familiar with the company's plans said. This is the same province where Samsung developed its smartphone supply chain a decade ago, so Google will have access to an experienced workforce. asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Tech-scroll-Asia/Google-to-shift-Pixel-smartphone-production-from-China-to-Vietnam
What happened to all the HTC stuff they bought? I thought that included their factories?
Jack Bell
Who cares, Google phones are shit and the Pixel 4 phones won't have a fingerprint reader.
Nathan Walker
Cringe.
Bunch of jews who just want to increase their profit margins.
Adam Carter
It won't affect consumers in any way meaningful though. Funny I'm a VC and Pixel phones aren't even officially distributed here.
Caleb Cooper
>It won't affect consumers Except Vietnam makes even shittier products than China
Andrew Lewis
>actually using the fingerprint reader
Daniel Rivera
Why can't companies just pay a proper wage for shit or just don't build it at all
Jaxon Lopez
Cause either they get a shittier margin of profit or a higher price compared to their competitors, or having no products to sell, business people want a good business, big fucking news.
Xavier Morales
VIETNAM BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I KNOW THAT WE THE NEW SLAVES
Cooper Ortiz
Because even if they wanted to, these boomer fucks that would be doing the job would expect their old timey middle class lifestyle on labor done in shitholes like China and Vietnam for much less.
Sebastian Bailey
They didn't buy HTC
Kayden Powell
They are paying proper wages, but proper Vietnamese wages not American.
Wyatt Jones
I mean fair wages. Why can't they pay fair wages and MAKE AMERICAN PHONES ON AMERICAN SOIL?
How can America stay ahead of the entire world if they keep outsourcing to poor countries? Eventually ecery poor country will hoard the wealth and become big like China and become semi developed. Then there's no place to outsource to. That could happen before 2060. Then Vietnam becomes the enemy again.
Because all businesses value profit over everything with no regard or empathy for employees. Employees are a means to an end for them. Capitalism incentivizes the sociopaths of our time to rise to business leadership positions as they have these key traits.
Hunter Hughes
>Based or cringe? Uhhh, I don't... Care? Know? Why is this exactly news? >as it seeks to build a low-cost supply chain This happens all the time.
Benjamin Johnson
That's treason though. They're literally going against trumps wishes.
Elijah King
>That's treason though. They're literally going against trumps wishes. I don't care. Neither do businesses. At least not those that are too big to fail anyway. And really - you would feel bad if you "betrayed" a buffoon and a charlatan?
Samuel Edwards
>Google is moving aggressively to shift production of its Pixel smartphone from China to China What did he mean by this?
Evan Lopez
Based! FUCK CHINKS
Mason Cook
>can't they pay fair wages and MAKE AMERICAN PHONES ON AMERICAN SOIL? Why do that when you can pay some chink in a factory a fraction of what you would pay in America and get the same quality product? >How can America stay ahead of the entire world if they keep outsourcing to poor countries? America is still where the R&D happens and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. >ecery poor country will hoard the wealth You're delusional if you think people earning $600 a year can hoard "wealth" and turn their country into china.
Logan Garcia
watch the netflix show american factory. the chinese are like 3 times the american worker in terms of efficiency and work ethic. the first thing americans want to do is unionize.
Ian Perry
Aren't Viets just darker Communist chinks?
Michael Rivera
American corporations sold out the country long ago. If Trump gets 4 more years, he'll barely be able to land a big enough hit on china for them to stop vassalizing other countries. And that is IF he wins the election and IF he actually manages to get anything through because his GOP friends are the biggest chinacucks in the world
Easton Bell
This is very pro China. I didn't know China was this far ahead in fundamental ways.
Jayden Nelson
shit phone is shit
Thomas Gomez
>implying this so called Chinese efficiency is not just a product of the tyranny of the Communist Party, which pretty much bans worker unions Y-yeah, just let yourselves be fucked in the ass as much as the Chinese guys, maybe then our overlords will deem us worthy of jobs.
Asher Moore
>>Google is moving aggressively to shift production of its Pixel smartphone from China NOOOOOOO GOOOGERRUUU PREEEEEEZ AAAAAAAAAAA
>this is very pro-china You're the only one suggesting that China isn't a merkantilistic shithole that will collapse just like every other unified Chinese state in history
Mason Ross
>springboard
Gabriel Davis
Every state collapses sooner or later.
Easton King
Based. Chinkoro stay mad
Hudson Anderson
>To a commie dictatorship from a commie dictstorshi
I-it's about freedom!
Jayden Howard
stfu commie, it's the only way forward. You wanna pay $5000 for a phone?
Nathaniel Miller
How does that boot taste?
Henry Watson
Or be Africa and stay collapsed
Logan Price
Well it already slowly crawled up to 1k, it's just a matter of time.
