China Plus One forces tech manufacturers into Southeast Asia's rising competitive ecosystem

Noori argues that the China Plus One strategy represents a structural shift in global manufacturing, not a temporary adjustment, forcing tech companies to build redundant production capacity across Southeast Asia to achieve both cost reduction and supply chain resilience. This geographic diversification is becoming a strategic imperative rather than an optional efficiency gain, fundamentally altering where and how complex electronics are manufactured.
