Google is reportedly turning an old Nokia factory in Bac Ninh, a northern province of Vietnam, into a smartphone factory for Google's Pixel smartphone, according to the publication.

Vietnam's workforce is familiar with smartphone production, as Google's smartphone competitor, the , has operated parts of it manufacturing in Vietnam for over a decade.

Η Nikkei says:

Google is likely to keep some business within China. The American company knows that if it wants to be serious with hardware manufacturing, it could not leave the Chinese market.


The American company finally intends to transfer the production of most of the hardware production outside of China, adds the publication, which includes Pixel smartphones but also smart devices such as Google Home.

The post came after tweet of President Trump last week which said it had "ordered" US companies to start looking for alternative bases of operations outside of China.

White House chief financial officer Larry Kudlow clarified on Sunday that Trump had suggested that American companies move their operations and chains τους μακριά από την Κίνα. Ωστόσο, επιβεβαίωσε ότι ο Πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ θα μπορούσε να αναγκάσει τις αμερικανικές εταιρείες να μεταφέρουν τις δραστηριότητές τους εκτός της Κίνας εάν ο εμπορικός πόλεμος κλιμακωθεί και γίνει national emergency.
 
The tension in the US-China trade war has not dissipated despite the fact that it has been going on for more than a year.
