Making China a 'creator'

Apple CEO Tim Cook's remarks in a recent interview with an Indian broadcaster about moving production to India have sparked intense discussions in China about whether "Made in India" will replace "Made in China".

Whether Apple will move its entire production line from China to India is unknown, but the decline in iPhone sales in China and India's huge smartphone market potential indicate an increasing possibility the leading smartphone producer will move more operations to India.

India's weak infrastructure means it will be difficult to overtake China in the formation of a complete smartphone manufacturing chain, but currently India does enjoy manufacturing advantages.
