Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) yesterday said that its operations in Shenzhen, China, have returned to normal, as lockdown restrictions implemented after a spike in COVID-19 cases have eased.
Hon Hai shut down its operations on Monday last week after Shenzhen health authorities ordered a lockdown a day earlier, which lasted until Sunday, to fight the worst COVID-19 outbreak the city has seen in two years.
Effective yesterday, all enterprises and institutions were allowed to resume operations, as the city has achieved its goal to contain the disease, local authorities said.

In a post to the Taiwan Stock Exchange, Hon Hai said its production in the city, such as those based in the Longhua and Guanlan technology parks, has resumed and work orders have also returned to normal.
The announcement came after iPhone assembler Hon Hai, also known as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團) on the global market, partially resumed its operations in Shenzhen on Wednesday last week, as workers had been under “closed loop” management, with employees living and working on company campuses.
With the citywide lockdown imposed in Shenzhen last week, more than 60 listed Taiwanese companies that operate in the city had to suspend production.
Other companies that resumed operations yesterday included touch panel supplier General Interface Solution Holding Ltd (業成控股), flexible circuit board material maker Taiflex Scientific Co (台虹科技), and bathroom and kitchen equipment vendor Globe Union Industrial Corp (成霖企業).
ASML Holding NV’s new advanced chip machines have a daunting price tag, said Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), one of the Dutch company’s biggest clients. “The cost is very high,” TSMC senior vice president Kevin Zhang (張曉強) said at a technology symposium in Amsterdam on Tuesday, referring to ASML’s latest system known as high-NA extreme ultraviolet (EUV). “I like the high-NA EUV’s capability, but I don’t like the sticker price,” Zhang said. ASML’s new chip machine can imprint semiconductors with lines that are just 8 nanometers thick — 1.7 times smaller than the previous generation. The machines cost 350 million euros (US$378 million)
Apple Inc has closed in on an agreement with OpenAI to use the start-up’s technology on the iPhone, part of a broader push to bring artificial intelligence (AI) features to its devices, people familiar with the matter said. The two sides have been finalizing terms for a pact to use ChatGPT features in Apple’s iOS 18, the next iPhone operating system, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the situation is private. Apple also has held talks with Alphabet Inc’s Google about licensing its Gemini chatbot. Those discussions have not led to an agreement, but are ongoing. An OpenAI
INSATIABLE: Almost all AI innovators are working with the chipmaker to address the rapidly growing AI-related demand for energy-efficient computing power, the CEO said Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) yesterday reported about 60 percent annual growth in revenue for last month, benefiting from rapidly growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing applications. Revenue last month expanded to NT$236.02 billion (US$7.28 billion), compared with NT$147.9 billion in April last year, the second-highest level in company history, TSMC said in a statement. On a monthly basis, revenue surged 20.9 percent, from NT$195.21 billion in March. As AI-related applications continue to show strong growth, TSMC expects revenue to expand about 27.6 percent year-on-year during the current quarter to between US$19.6 billion and US$20.4 billion. That would
‘FULL SUPPORT’: Kumamoto Governor Takashi Kimura said he hopes more companies would settle in the prefecture to create an area similar to Taiwan’s Hsinchu Science Park The newly elected governor of Japan’s Kumamoto Prefecture said he is ready to ensure wide-ranging support to woo Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) to build its third Japanese chip factory there. Concerns of groundwater shortages when TSMC’s two plants begin operations in the prefecture’s Kikuyo have spurred discussions about the possibility of tapping unused dam water, Kumamoto Governor Takashi Kimura said in an interview on Saturday. While Kimura said talks about a third plant have yet to occur, Bloomberg had reported TSMC is already considering its third Japanese fab — also in Kumamoto — which would make more advanced chips. “We are
