Apple’s New iPhone 14 to Show India Closing Tech Gap With China:

Apple Inc. plans to begin manufacturing the iPhone 14 in India about two months after the product’s initial release out of China, narrowing the gap between the two countries but not closing it completely as some had anticipated.

The company has been working with suppliers to ramp up manufacturing in India and shorten the lag in production of the new iPhone from the typical six to nine months for previous launches, according to people familiar with the matter. Apple, which long made most of its iPhones in China, is seeking alternatives as Xi Jinping’s administration clashes with the US government and imposes lockdowns across the country that have disrupted economic activity.

Tech war: South Korean trade group calls for chip diversification from China as Seoul mulls joining US-led semiconductor alliance
A trade group in South Korea has called for the diversification of trading partners in chips after Seoul’s reliance on China as a semiconductor export market jumped nearly 13-fold over the last two decades.

China accounted for 39.7 per cent of all South Korean semiconductor exports in 2021, up from 3.2 per cent in 2000, according to an article by The Korea Herald on Sunday, citing research published by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), which represents 300 local companies including memory chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

The Seoul-based trade group cited the risks of increasing dependency on China, warning that it would badly hurt South Korean industry when the manufacturing skills gap between the two countries narrows.
