China Targets Apple with Push into Advanced Smartphone Screens

It's a little disgusting how Apple has supported the Chinese dictatorship over the years. Apple supports 4.8Million jobs in China, more than double the US total. https://247wallst.com/jobs/2017/03/17/apple-supports-4-8-mil.... It chooses not to invest in manufacturing in US, instead opting for slave labor-like conditions in China. It built its magnificent spaceship campus on the backs of lost American manufacturing/communities and tears of Chinese laborers.

Which smartphone would you recommend purchasing?

China doesn't make the Apple screens.

Samsung and Japan Display make the screens (OLED and LCD). Samsung and Japan Display != China. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam != China. To target Apple in the sense that you're referring they'd have to go after South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan first, targeting Hitachi, Toshiba, Sony, Samsung and dozens of other companies directly or indirectly. That would draw in approximately the entire advanced electronics industry and every developed nation.

Good luck with that. China's problem these days is that several other nations in Asia are rising to replace them as legitimate options for building electronics. Vietnam is producing half of Samsung's phones for example. Most of what China does can be done somewhere else. Plenty of developing countries are eager to take on hundreds of billions of dollars in invested capital to build out their domestic manufacturing.

>BOE Technology Group Co. plants already make display screens for Apple’s iPads and MacBook computers,

Now sure why they still didn't make it into the iPhone LCD supply Chain.

>“Many years ago, people were saying that no, the China guys can’t do it. But I think BOE makes a good example,”

That is me as well. Or I was more like it will take them some more time to catch up, even in an optimistic view, but they are so relentless in their R&D, they make a lot of progress that it seems now they can do the impossible. And they now likely has better OLED than LG for Smartphones.

Apple has been adopting more and more Chinese components which is slightly worrying. iPhone's Battery is from China, and they are definitely not the best in class. Some of the cover glass are from China, ( They are no all Gorilla Glass ).

Apple and every other computer and phone manufacturer out there yeah.
