Adam Kos Isitshalo sikaFoxconn eNdiya, okumanje sihlaselwe yinkinga ye-covid, sinciphisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-iPhone phakathi. Izwe alikwazi ukumelana nokusabalala kwegciwane ngokushesha. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Apple, i-Google, iMicrosoft, i-Amazon nabanye banxenxa uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi axhase ngezimali amandla okukhiqiza ama-chip. Cishe ngeke siphume kulo nyaka.
Bangaphezu kwekhulu abasebenzi basembonini yase-Foxconn yaseNdiya abahlolelwe i-coronavirus, yingakho abaphathi beye bavala ngokuphelele. Lokhu kuhlelwa kuze kube sekupheleni kukaMeyi. I-Tamil Nadu ingesinye sezifundazwe zaseNdiya ezihlaselwe kakhulu igagasi lesibili le-coronavirus. Kuvalwe ngokuphelele kusukela ngoMsombuluko, azikho izithuthi zomphakathi nezitolo ezivaliwe. Konke ukuze kuncishiswe ukusabalala kokutheleleka.

Umthamo wesigamu
I-Foxconn yaseNdiya yehlise ukukhiqizwa kwafinyelela ku-50% wamandla ayo, abasebenzi bavunyelwe ukuhamba, kodwa abasakwazi ukuza. Kodwa-ke, njengoba lesi sikhungo sihlinzeka ngendawo yaso yokuhlala endaweni yokulala engaphakathi kwezakhiwo, kusenabasebenzi abathile. Inkampani iTrendForce isilungise isibikezelo sayo sokukhula kokukhiqizwa kwama-smartphones emhlabeni jikelele ngokubheka lo mbiko, okuwukwehla kusuka ku-9,4% kuya ku-8,5%. Ngakho-ke inkinga yaseNdiya izothinta amakhasimende abalulekile akwaFoxconn, okuhlanganisa i-Samsung kanye, vele, i-Apple.
I-COVID-19 ishaye i-India kanzima kakhulu ngenxa yenhlanganisela yezinqumo zikahulumeni zokungavimbi imicimbi emikhulu kanye nohlelo lwezempilo olunganele. Njengoba kushiwo inkampani I-Lancet, kusukela ngoMeyi 4, kwabikwa amacala angaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-20,2, ngesilinganiso samacala amasha angama-378 ngosuku nokufa kwabantu abangaphezu kuka-000. Naphezu kwezixwayiso zalezi zingozi, uhulumeni walapho wavumela ukuba kubanjwe imikhosi yenkolo, kanye nemihlangano emikhulu yezombangazwe eyadonsa izigidi zabantu ezweni lonke.
Igalari yezithombe
Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, i-Apple yaqala ukukhiqiza i-iPhone 12 njengengxenye yemizamo yayo eqhubekayo yokuqeda ukuthembela kwabahlinzeki kanye nokukhiqiza eChina eNdiya. Ukwehla okuphawulekayo kokukhiqizwa akubangelwa yilolu bhubhane kuphela, kodwa futhi nokushoda okubanzi kwama-chip emhlabeni wonke, okuthi, nakuba kungakathinti ukukhiqizwa kwefoni yenkampani, kubangela ukubambezeleka kumakhompyutha e-Mac kanye namathebulethi e-iPad.

Imali eningi yama-chips engeziwe
Iziqhwaga zobuchwepheshe ezifana ne-Apple, iMicrosoft, Alphabet, i-Amazon, i-Intel, i-AT&T, i-Verizon nezinye zakha umfelandawonye omusha onxenxa uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi axhase ngezimali umthamo owengeziwe wokukhiqiza ama-chip. I-Semiconductors in America Coalition isekela uMthetho we-CHIPS for America, lapho uMongameli u-Biden ecela uxhaso lwemali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-50 kuCongress.
Igalari yezithombe
Imali izosetshenziselwa ukwakha amandla engeziwe okukhiqiza ama-chip e-United States. Abakhiqizi bezimoto abanjengoFord bayizisulu ezinkulu zokushoda kwama-chip emhlabeni jikelele, kodwa i-Apple ivumile embikweni wayo wemali etholwayo wekota ukuthi ukuhlinzekwa kwamanye amamodeli weMacBook ne-iPad nakho kuzothinteka. Umfelandawonye ugcizelela ukuthi izinyathelo zikahulumeni akufanele zivune imboni eyodwa (isb. abakhiqizi bezimoto). Abahlaziyi bakholelwa ukuthi ukushoda komhlaba wonke kwama-chips kuzoqhubeka kuze kube ngu-2022. Le “nhlekelele” iye yanda ngenxa yezici eziningi, okuhlanganisa izimpi zohwebo phakathi kwe-US ne-China, isidingo esikhulu kanye nobhubhane lwe-COVID-19.
