Apple is being arrogant here, by saying unless you can almost fully automate production, you can't get orders. These suppliers should say to Apple, why don't make your own products if you are so good at automation?

Pioneering Chinese-American mathematician Zhongwei Shen has left the United States to take up a chair professorship at Westlake University in Hangzhou.
He joined Westlake’s School of Science in July to continue decades of research on partial differential equations and harmonic analysis – mathematical fields that form the backbone of modelling the natural world, according to the university website.
Shen, who was admitted to as a maths major at just 14, has spent 40 years in the US, including nearly three decades at the University of Kentucky, where he became a distinguished professor and served as chair of the mathematics department.

Huawei is the top seller of wearable in the world two quarters in a row.
China starts planning to build 10-Gb fiber optical network.
China starts planning to build 10-Gb fiber optical network.
I'm pretty sure this is part of the earlier 50G-GPON rollout from earlier this year:
Side note, there's been chatter of China planning a 50G-PON (50Gbps Passive Optical Network) sometime this decade. This is not just backbone infrastructure, but to individual households directly. For policy wonks and engineers, there's been a lot of anticipation that'll actually get built, if only to see what the effects are.
For anyone think "but why", 20 years ago South Korea rolling out nation-wide fiber, and the effects were profound. Rural areas with fiber had substantially higher PPP, and while urban area has upwards of 10% higher relative GDP growth. That was with just 100Mbps. Meanwhile China has orders of magnitude more people and physical space, and the altitude for growth is still high. Be people will easily "grow into" 50G just like the Koreans did with 1G.
