The impact of Huawei's blacklist, Google's hardware factory must step down in China
After the blacklisting of Huawei in the US, now the Alphabet subsidiary of Google has to move some of its hardware production out of China. The decision was taken to avoid escalating tariffs, and this certainly cannot be separated from the dispute between the United States and China.
As reported by an unnamed source, Google is shifting part of its manufacturing plant for Nest thermostats and their servers from China. In addition, some of the production of devices such as motherboard has also been moved to Taiwan.
Google moves part of production motherboard to Taiwan so as not to be subject to a tariff of 25 percent. And because of this tariff, the production of his Nest devices has also been transferred to Taiwan and Malaysia.

From the dispute, Foxconn as an iPhone maker in China also felt the impact. Foxconn has stated that it is ready to leave China if Apple asks.

However, according to reports, Google is currently wooing the US government to grant permission to supply the Android operating system to Huawei-owned devices.
