Microsoft is moving most of its production out of China
Microsoft plans to shift the production of the majority of its new hardware, including Surface laptops and data center servers, outside China potentially by early next year, Nikkei Asia reports. It’s the latest effort by Microsoft and other American tech companies, including Amazon, Google, and Apple, to shed some of their dependence on China amid ongoing geopolitical tensions between Washington and Beijing.
A source told Nikkei that Microsoft has asked that at least 80% of the bill of materials for servers, which includes parts, components, and assembly, come from outside China.
