Quote:Microsoft and a series of partners are reportedly considering moving the production of hardware from China to facilities in other countries amid the trade war between the United States and the Beijing government.
 
The Redmond-based software giant, as well as HP, Dell, and Amazon could transfer at least part of their production to non-Chinese production plants, a report from Nikkei reads.
 
HP and Dell want at least 30 percent of their production to run outside of China, while Microsoft is considering making the Xbox in a different country too. Amazon is eyeing a similar change for the Echo and Kindle, while Acer and Asustek are still looking into a possible migration to other production facilities for their PCs.
 
While none of these companies released a statement to confirm they are indeed looking into moving production out of China, this is a decision that makes sense given the trade tension between the two states.
