According to information, Google will transfer the production of its Pixel smartphones from China to Vietnam.

Google is reportedly converting one Nokia plant in Bac Ninh, a northern province in Vietnam, to a smartphone factory to make Google's Pixel smartphones, according to the publication.

Vietnam's workforce is familiar with smartphone manufacturing, as Google's rival Samsung, has been operating parts of the Vietnam chain for more than 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 who stated that he had "ordered" the American ones to start looking for alternative business bases outside of China.

White House chief financial officer Larry Kudlow clarified on Sunday that Trump has suggested that US companies move their operations and supply chains away from China. However, he confirmed that the US President could force US companies to move their operations out of China if the trade war escalates into a 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.
