Dell is planning on phasing out all of the chips it produces in China to other countries by 2024.
Dell is the worlds third largest computer manufacturer and its expected a fair amount of the chip manufacturing will likely be moved to Vietnam among other locations. HP, another large computer and peripheral maker and domestic rival to Dell is also apparently seeking ways to divest from chip manufacturing in China for the same reason. While both Dell and HP will still have some manufacturing take place in China, both companies are also apparently seeking to diversify the manufacturing of components like circuit boards out of China as well.
Even Apple has recent plans to being manufacturing MacBooks in Vietnam instead of China in the near future. Some analysts in the articles state that there maybe future computer manufacturing hubs in Southeast Asia, India and Latin America as a diversification from China continues.
