Tokyo: Japan's Daikin which has always relied on China for air conditioner parts in the last decade, got fed up with China's long zero Covid policy and decided to dump China for AC parts.
Daikin Industries has planned to dump China as it has failed to supply parts for the manufacturing of Air conditioners, reported The Singapore Post. Daikin's decision to find an alternative has caused a huge embarrassment to China even as relations between Japan and China completed 50 years.
In February, China tightened chip supply after it imposed a lockdown in Suzhou in Jiangsu province. The tough step had a negative impact on the chip supply and fuelled the global chip shortage, reported The Singapore Post.
