Foxconn, which is a key supplier of Apple products, announced on Monday, that it is suspending production in its Shenzhen plants to comply with a new COVID-19 lockdown in the region. The company is attempting to minimize the impact of this on the supply-chain, by increasing manufacturing output of its plants in other regions, it said in a statement. China is witnessing its highest surge in COVID-19 cases since 2020, and the fresh outbreak is expected to affect manufacturing across the country, as factories comply with cubs set in place by health officials. Besides Foxconn, two other suppliers of Apple, namely Unimicron and Sunflex, have announced a suspension of manufacturing operations in the Shenzhen area.

Hope they can get this under control fast, China's Covid Zero policy will cause massive disruption and inflation to tech goods if they don't.

It seems their Covid zero policy will just create more of these disruptions in the future. Covid is going to spread, China is just making it spread much slower.

I had to check the date to verify if it is an old news. Hadn't we won the war on COVID yet?

Most of the world has moved on (several EU countries require no testing, no quarantine, and even if you test positive no longer need to isolate), there are enough medicines now and high vaccine rates.

China refuses to use mRNA vaccines (which makes me raise my eyebrows a little, they are apparently making their own but it is slow going), which are the most effective. So they will be playing whack-a-mole indefinitely most likely.
