India? A lot of companies have tried that and failed. They don't have the infrastructure and the bureaucracy is a mess. They are also far from all the other component manufacturers. Why do you think China succeeded where Mexico did not in the first place? It's right next to Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. Vietnam might do, but India won't.
We're always on the cusp of automation of something or another. Japan had the same issue. South Korea had the same issue. That's why I said. China needs to manufacture its own machine tools so they can go up the ladder of production faster than anyone else.
This is concerning. India will manufacture $140 billion USD in mobile phones for the next 5 years. Think about how much that might harm and take away from China's smartphone manufacturing industry.
