Staffing chaos caused by Beijing’s abrupt U-turn on their zero-Covid controls is creating more problems for the tech supply chains, reports Nikkei.

“It’s very chaotic,” an executive at an electronic component maker that supplies Samsung, Apple and several Chinese smartphone makers told Nikkei Asia. “The new wave of COVID surges spread super fast, and most companies found it already makes no sense to quarantine their employees.”
An employee at smartphone maker Honor described how workers now are largely resigned to catching the virus.
