Chapter 5: Global Development

Chapter 5: global manufacturing

Apples main source of manufacturers are mostly located in China. The number of suppliers & manufacturers out weigh the amount that there are directly here in the United States. 5 out of 8 manufacturers are located outside of the United States & only 3 are located within the U.S. That already on it own is self explanatory. Many company's like Apple choose outsources in order to find the best deal they can find, so that their product is made at a very low price with low interests. Usually even material is inexpensive, because your buying from high quantity & from the homeland. Now, Donal trump who's running for president has said, "We're going to get Apple to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries". Now what good is in that? By Apple having its manufacturers in China they are also supplying job opportunities for those in need. If the supplier is moved to the U.S then we'll be taking opportunities away from a country that is overpopulated & in need of employment. But if Apple decides not to follow Trumps foot steps into the U.S, Apple will be looking to pay 35 percent on tax charges.
