Samsung Electronics Company has ended mobile telephone production in China. The company has expanded smartphone production in lower-cost countries, such as India and Vietnam, in recent years.
The shutdown of Samsung's last China phone factory comes after it cut production at the plant in the southern city of Huizhou in June 2019 and suspended another factory late in 2018 , underscoring stiff competition in the country.
The production equipment will be re-allocated to other global manufacturing sites.
