Why Chinese regulators want to crackdown on DiDi

Published

on

Didi

Following Didi’s controversial initial public offering, Chinese regulators are reportedly considering handing down serious and unprecedented penalties on the ride-share company

The decision made by Didi to go public has been viewed as an attack against the Cyberspace Administration of China and Beijing’s rule.

Chinese officials have begun an intense on-site investigation at the company in recent days.

Punishments may include a hefty fine, suspension of operations, or even the possibility of requiring a state-owned investor to become part of the organisation.

It’s also possible that Beijing will try and delist or withdraw Didi entirely from the US share market.

This follows e-commerce giant Alibaba

It was handed a record $2.8 billion fine following a lengthy anti-trust investigation – and experts believe Didi’s penalty will far surpass this.

Should investors stay away from Didi?

Didi’s share have dropped on the back of this news.

Apple shifts iPhone production to India by 2026

Apple plans to shift most iPhone production to India by 2026, reducing tariff risks amid geopolitical tensions.

Apple plans to shift most iPhone production to India by 2026, reducing tariff risks amid geopolitical tensions.

In Short

Apple plans to import most US iPhones from India by 2026 to minimise tariff risks and geopolitical tensions with China, doubling production to over 80 million units.

This shift follows disruptions from Covid and aims to fully source US-bound iPhones from India by next year, leveraging recent tariff exemptions.

Apple Inc. plans to import the majority of iPhones sold in the US from India by 2026 in an effort to reduce tariff risks and geopolitical tensions associated with China.

The company aims to double its annual iPhone production in India to over 80 million units, up from just over 40 million in the fiscal year ending March 2025. Apple sells more than 60 million iPhones annually in the US.

This move highlights Apple’s ongoing shift away from China, which began after Covid lockdowns disrupted production. Tariffs imposed during former President Trump’s administration and rising tensions between the US and China have further driven this strategy.

Supply chain

Earlier reports indicated that Apple intends to source all US-bound iPhones from India by the end of next year. Therefore, the focus on India’s supply chain is expected to increase significantly.

Apple assembled around $22 billion worth of iPhones in India recently, experiencing a nearly 60% production increase year-on-year. Currently, 20% of iPhones are made in India, while China remains the largest production hub.

Most iPhones in India are assembled at Foxconn’s factory, and Tata Group also plays a critical role in manufacturing. Both companies are expanding their operations in southern India.

Additionally, recent tariff exemptions for electronics may benefit Apple significantly, as iPhones made in India currently face no duties for US sales.

A 13% drop in vehicle deliveries, tied in part to CEO Elon Musk’s political controversies, has investors worried.
