Good riddance they can take the screw and assembly job to India. Not surprising since most that kind of job has trouble attracting worker as Chinese economy now allow worker to be choosy

Let see how long that lasts until it gets burned?
I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm guessing Foxconn is unlikely to summon those overtime orders as they did with China.
Apple had better hope they have all their design kinks worked out, there will be no 11th hour corrections at their India plant.

They accuse China of being behind the burning and vandalizing.
No Chinese sabotage could match the damage inflicted by Indian worker inefficiency.

Rumor came from a report by Business Standard:
Now the problem with Indian media is that they often like report unconfirmed rumors which turn out to be untrue, especially India’s "Business Standard". For example, in 2015, the that Foxconn would build 12 assembly plants and add more than 1 million workers in India by 2020. Now 6 years later, if you look back, would you believe it?
Anyhow, on the low chance it does turn out to be true, it's only to serve the local Indian market than for export; Indian-manufactured goods almost are never able to compete with Chinese manufactured export goods

Disagree, assembly manufacturing factories serve an underappreciated but important role

It can be automated. More importantly, it cultivates a supplier ecosystem.
Outsourcing assembly manufacturing was what the US did 40 years ago; you don't want to end up deindustrialized like them do you?
What these people, Gordon Chang and the rest, what they predicted for China, finally happened.
However, it happened in the west!
That is why they cannot let it go, haha!
Best thing to do, is taunt them. Look at the GDP growth number then repeat that all the time.
Who could ever think a dull boring economic number could cause such hysterics, lol.
My impression of China, when I went there, before all the people moved off the land into these factories, was that at that time, China was a land of subsistence farmers.
Life was hard.
Jobs in those factories were far better than what everyone had to deal with on the farm.
