Title: China-Plus-One Was Just China All Along

Link: https://slashdot.org/story/25/08/14/0811259/c...

An anonymous reader shares a report: India's blueprint for displacing China
as the world's electronics workshop contains a rather extraordinary feature:
the entire Indian edifice requires Chinese companies to supply the technical
architecture, manufacturing know-how and operational templates that would
make such displacement theoretically possible. Let's start with Dixon
Technologies, India's flagship domestic electronics manufacturer. The company
has systematically built indigenous capability through a growing
constellation of Chinese partnerships: Longcheer provides the design
intelligence, Kunshan Q-Tech delivers camera module expertise, Chongqing
Yuhai supplies precision-molded components and HKC brings display technology.
This pattern of structured dependence has become the organizing principle of
India's electronics manufacturing push. [...] The current architecture sees
Chinese companies retain control of the critical knowledge while their Indian
partners provide labour arbitrage and regulatory navigation. Under this
arrangement, India isn't constructing an alternative to Chinese manufacturing
so much as establishing Chinese manufacturing's most elaborate subsidiary
operation, underwritten by Indian taxpayers and marketed as national renewal.
Many countries, but most importantly India and Vietnam, have worked hard in
recent years to attract businesses that decided to diversify away from China,
a strategy analysts have dubbed as "China Plus One."
