Aug 5 - Apple Warns Suppliers To Follow China Rules on 'Taiwan' Labeling

Apple has asked suppliers to ensure that shipments from Taiwan to China strictly comply with Chinese customs regulations after a recent visit by senior U.S. lawmaker Nancy Pelosi to Taipei stoked fears of rising trade barriers. From a report:
Apple told suppliers on Friday that China has started strictly enforcing a long-standing rule that Taiwanese-made parts and components must be labeled as being made either in "Taiwan, China" or "Chinese Taipei," sources familiar with the matter told Nikkei Asia, language that indicates the island is part of China. The U.S. tech titan urged suppliers to treat the matter with urgency to avoid possible disruptions caused by goods and components being held for scrutiny, the people said.

The timing is sensitive for Apple, as its suppliers are preparing components that will go into its next iPhones and other new products set to launch this autumn. Using the phrase "Made in Taiwan" on any import declaration forms, documents or cartons could cause shipments to be held and checked by Chinese customs, the sources added. Penalties for violating such a rule is a fine of up to 4,000 yuan ($592) or, in the worst-case scenario, the shipment being rejected, one of the sources said

Of course you could avoid all this by...you know...not manufacturing your goods in China. Eventually these companies will start catching on that it's not worth it.

that's what's funny about "made in" labels. majority of that sh*t isn't made in china, it's just finally a*sembled in china yet in the end people see "made in china."

They won't. In a Capitalism society,Profits before Morality every single time.

It's very efficient for them to make phones in China than anywhere else. They would rather lick CCP Boots before moving their operations.
