本日口譯文章：富士康擬將低端制作業從中國轉向印度
台灣制作團體富士康(Foxconn)籌劃在印度大肆擴大，盤算在2020年曩昔制作至多12家新廠，聘請多達100萬名員工。該公司正艱苦應答中國日趨增加的薪資本錢和賡續增長的勞工膠葛。
富士康此舉標記著這家高科技企業的一次計謀轉移。富士康是中國要地本地最大的民營店主，其最為人所知的是作為蘋果(Apple)的iPhone和iPad裝備在環球最大的代工制作商。
歷久以來，印度一向願望其數目宏大的便宜勞工能使該國成為繼中國以後天下下一個制作業發念頭，但印度的雄心勃勃受制於糟的基本舉措措施和龐雜的勞動律例。不外，富士康表現，該公司看到了在印度打造中國式工場舉措措施的“偉大潛力”，這對印度總理納倫德拉莫迪(Narendra Modi)的“印度制作”(Made in India)的制作業成長盡力是一大提振。
這家台資團體是自莫迪上任以來，宣告在印度扶植新廠籌劃的最主要的環球制作商。莫迪在客歲5月被選曩昔，曾在選戰中許諾要為每一年進入就業市場的1000萬到1200萬印度人創培養業崗亭。
富士康此舉還大概令印度成為其僅次於中國的最大臨盆基地。在中國，富士康運營著10多家工場，在華聘請的員工占其環球逾100萬員工的絕大多半。富士康表現：“咱們對印度有側重大計劃，也看到了該國的偉大潛力。這些計劃中包含了在2020年曩昔在印度扶植10到12家制作廠的籌劃，它們會發明約莫100萬個就業崗亭。”
富士康別名鴻海周詳(Hon Hai Precision Industries)。因為在中國面臨賡續上漲的薪資賬單，該公司已試圖經由過程投資於機械人等先輩技巧，轉變其低本錢形象。
但剖析師們表現，該團體向印度的擴大，標記著一種更大規模的轉移。經由過程這一轉移進程，富士康追求將低端制作業從中國轉向印度，並試圖為對準印度海內市場的企業供貨——好比中國智妙手機制作商小米(Xiaomi)。

The Taiwanese manufacturing group Foxconn plans an aggressive expansion in India, building up to 12 new factories and employing as many as 1m workers by 2020, as it battles rising wage costs and labour disputes in China.
The move signals a shift in strategy for the technology company, which is mainland China’s biggest private-sector employer and is best known as the largest global contract manufacturer of Apple’s iPhone and iPad devices.
India has long hoped that its vast pool of cheap workers would see it become the world’s next manufacturing powerhouse after China, only to find its ambitions thwarted by poor infrastructure and complex labour regulations. But Foxconn said it saw “huge potential” to set up Chinese-style facilities in the country, providing a boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” manufacturing drive.
The Taiwanese group is the most significant global manufacturer to announce plans to establish new facilities in the country since Mr Modi took power in May last year, following an election campaign in which he pledged to provide jobs for the 10m-12m Indians who enter the labour market each year.
Foxconn’s move is also likely to make India its largest production base after China, where it operates more than a dozen facilities, employing the vast majority of its more than 1m global workforce. “We have significant plans for India and we see huge potential in the country,” Foxconn Technology Group said. “This includes plans to establish 10 to 12 manufacturing facilities in the country by 2020, which would generate around 1m job opportunities.”
Facing rising wage bills in China, Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industries, has tried to leave behind its low-cost image by investing in robotics and other advanced technologies.
But analysts said the group’s Indian expansion signalled a broader shift in which Foxconn would look to move low-end manufacturing from China to India, while seeking to supply companies targeting India’s domestic market, such as Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi.
