[Apple is enchanted by China and also trapped by China]
China occupies a key and irreplaceable position in Apple's global production layout.
China has 284 production facilities, a number far exceeding other countries and regions - significantly surpassing Japan's 108, the US's 62, South Korea's 54, etc.
Such a vast number not only highlights China's indispensable role in Apple's supply chain but also reflects China's powerful manufacturing strength and mature and well-established industrial ecosystem.
This advantage enables China to provide extensive and solid production support for Apple, showcasing China's prominent position and dominance in the global high-end manufacturing supply chain, which is difficult for other countries/regions to match.
