Equipment Sourced From ChinaProbably a lot of the new equipment going into the new plant was sourced from China...... and China has been locked down for almost three years now. That is many workers either locked in at work, or in their apartments. Apple has had production problems at the Foxxcon assembly plant, where workers rioted and finally left their jobs. I am sure other manufacturers have the same problem.
No wonder there is a world wide supply problem..... all started by locking in Chinese workers in China, and they rioted......, now the Chinese government is starting to loosen the movement of people. Covid is rampid, and the government has only been using it own manufactured anti-covid drugs to control the situation...., but they have failed
You can't blame MMY management, they probably went for best price, and probably best product.
Just my thoughts ...... Richard
