The west invested trillions of dollars over the past 4 decades in China not to mention Taiwan, south korea, Japan sending engineers to train Chinese counterparts on process knowledge with Europe selling their most advanced machining equipment etc. expecting india to start replacing China in 1 yr is ridiculous. If the west needs India to be an alternative sourcing partner then it better have the same appetite to invest in tech infra in India. Indians are no better or worse than any other culture in making stuff. We make great software because it takes very little infrastructure to get started and no airports / seaports / road infrastructure is needed to export it.

Seriously. Not to mention something is going on. I've seen this same headline being posted all over Reddit for the past 2-3 days.

“Something is going on”

Like what? An article written 4 days ago has people discussing it?

I'll be candid, haven't read the article, but I work in Manufacturing of large equipment, and when I first saw this headline I thought "50%? That's pretty good."

Apple has rigorous standards especially on the outer casing because that is so core to the brand's image. There's a reason every phone kinda looks iphoneish with the camera bumps, the upper left hand corner, etc.

This is double edged sword for India's manufacturing. They're newer to this sector and standards AND they're adhering to apple's standards. 50% is damn good for a first go around.

Infrastructure like roads/ports need to be built by your own government. China invested into its own infrastructure. The West invested into their own factories.

You can't expect the West to build your infrastructure for you.
