China weaponizes Tata Electronics hack to push India-made supply-chain warnings for Apple

Beijing and state media use the Tata Electronics cyber breach as propaganda to highlight alleged weaknesses in India’s manufacturing and to argue for China-centric supply chains, while Hong Kong/China tech hubs push the narrative despite experts in Huaqiangbei saying you can’t replicate Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro; Tata Electronics says the cyber incident did not disrupt operations, Apple is diversifying its supply chain away from China, and India has begun manufacturing iPhones (iPhone 17) for Apple as tensions over global production rise.
