Since the US-China Trade War broke out, it has been accompanied with the projection of a grim future for China’s manufacturing industry. In addition, weaker iPhone demand has a profound negative impact on the technology supply chain, as it is reported that Apple would decrease its iPhone XR orders by 20% to 25%. As a result, its supplier, Hong Kong-owned Biel Crystal Manufactory has allegedly laid off many workers, sparking protests in Huizhou, Guangdong Province.
