Global consumer electronics firms are looking to move substantial production capacity out of China due to concerns over the U.S.-China trade conflict.
According to Nikkei Asian Review, leading computer makers HP and Dell are planning to reallocate up to 30 percent of their notebook production out of China to other countries such as Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam.
And tech giants Microsoft, Google and Amazon are also looking at joining the exodus to East Asia.
Sources say many tech companies who have production facilities in China have been hit hard by the tariffs imposed on 250 billion U.S. dollars worth of Chinese imports into the U.S.
