Nintendo will transfer part of Switch's production from China to Vietnam

Nintendo will move some aspects of Switch's production from China to Vietnam, a company spokesman told Reuters.

The news follows reports that Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony were trying to move away from Chinese console manufacturing, due to mounting political tensions and economic malaise between the Asian country of China. East and the United States.

Despite these rumors, Nintendo suggested that the decision was made only to "diversify risks" rather than to evade Washington's potential tariffs on products made in China.

Nintendo will begin the move this summer, although it remains to be seen what parts of the production will be transferred to Vietnam and which parts will remain in place.
