South Korean electronics giant Samsung’s memory chip plant in Xi’an is under pressure after the city increased lockdown measures on Monday due to 150 new Covid-19 cases the previous day, reports the South China Morning Post. The plant is one of the largest foreign-funded projects in China.
While there are not yet reports of suspended production at the $26 billion complex run by the tech giant in the capital city of Shaanxi province, its operations have been closely watched since Xi’an introduced a strict citywide lockdown two days before Christmas, suspending most forms of transport.
A report from South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency cited a Samsung official on Friday saying that emergency measures taken at the Xi’an site have “not affected production as it has been fully utilising factory workers living in the company’s dormitory.”
