A trucker strike in Korea is threatening to disrupt Samsung’s chip production in China, according to a trade association report. The Korea International Trade Association (KITA) warned that Samsung’s chip production in China could be severely affected due to the transportation of raw materials and finished goods being disrupted by the ongoing trucker strike in Korea.Samsung’s factories in China depend heavily on components and raw materials imported from Korea, and the trucker strike could cause a significant delay in delivery times. This could ultimately result in a shortage of chips and potentially impact Samsung’s supply chain and customer orders.The KITA has called on the Korean government to address the concerns of the striking truckers and find a resolution to the issue to prevent any further disruptions to the supply chain. The government has been engaged in negotiations with the truckers’ union to find a solution.
If the strike persists, it could have far-reaching implications for Samsung’s chip production and China’s tech industry, which has already been facing supply chain challenges due to the ongoing global semiconductor shortage. The situation is being closely monitored by industry analysts and stakeholders alike.
