Apple, the global technology company, has a reputation for being risk-averse.

Yes, the company is innovative, but it is often not the first to market and tries to avoid political controversies. Today, Apple’s aversion to risk and rapid technological change is causing the company to be entwined in the global trade war between the United States and China. Because of this trade war, Apple is attempting to move most of its China-based manufacturing to India. Apple could have avoided this problem by shifting production from China in 2018 when President Donald Trump first started his trade confrontation with China. Rushing to India from China will prove to be challenging and expensive.
