Tighter controls on coal supplies, in addition to an increased focus on emissions, have resulted in a slowdown in a number of regions, which could act as a lag on the country’s economic growth.
Unimicron Technology, which supplies Apple, confirmed yesterday that three of its subsidiaries in China halted production for a number of hours in order to comply with government policy.
A host of other suppliers have made similar announcements.
