iPhone Production 'Proceeding Well' in Chinese City of Zhengzhou Despite New Lockdowns and Restrictions

by

iPhone production in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou is "proceeding well" despite lockdowns and restrictions being imposed in the area, according to managers at Foxconn cited by Henan Daily (via Bloomberg).

Following in the footsteps of Shanghai, Zhengzhou has decided to impose new restrictions, including lockdowns and mass COVID-19 testing. Despite this, Foxconn's massive assembly plant in the city, nicknamed by locals the "iPhone City," is seeing limited disruptions, with the production of Apple devices proceeding as usual.

"Production at the Foxconn campus is proceeding well with some 200,000 workers," the newspaper said, citing Foxconn managers within the compound. The Taiwanese company is cooperating with local government and putting measures in place to ensure worker safety. "The supply lines haven't been affected by Covid."

The restrictions were first imposed last week and come amid a continued constrained supply chain. At the moment, iPad and iPhone supplies seem to be uninterrupted, but Apple's Mac line continues to face supply chain issues and delays for customers. Two Apple suppliers, Pegatron and Quanta, recently said they would suspend production of Apple devices due to the new lockdowns and restrictions.

A Zero-Covid approach is not going to work long term. I don’t really get what the CCP is trying to achieve.

It's not always a city-wide lockdown. Often only specific areas or neighborhoods are restricted if there is an infection there.
'Restricted'. How nice. And by that you mean forced to stay inside without being able to get food or ripped from your home and put in covid concentration camps if you test positive. Animals are killed and bagged like trash.

I don’t understand how any of this is “proceeding”. The Chinese government is forcing ppl to stay home. It’s not like they can get an exception to go to Foxconn because they are working on iPhones
It's worse than that. I've seen some leaked videos showing they're starting to "cleanse" the infected population by throwing them into concentration camps, away from everyone else in the general public. Kids are getting separated from their parents in some cases, when they test positive. It's not a good scene at all.
