El Reg reports:

Apple manufacturer Foxconn reckons it will create one million jobs in India by 2020 – nearly the entire number of its current Chinese workforce – according to reports.

Hon Hai otherwise known in the West as Foxconn, last month revealed it was setting its sights on India due to increasing wage costs in China.

The firm has not released any more details or elaborated on what the plans will mean for its Chinese manufacturing base. However, it does appear to be slowly fleshing out a relocation move.

    Much of Africa is becoming more politically stable than it once was, with legitimate contested elections in many places and fewer disease outbreaks, wars, and famines. I could imagine a lot of companies successfully setting up shop in South Africa, Kenya, Namibia, Ivory Coast, or Burkina Faso.
