Lite-On Technology is building a facility in Beijing for the production of power components for servers, amid concerns they could be used by Taiwan to steal information. Some of Lite-On’s clients had asked for manufacturing to be moved away from mainland China due to fears of cyber espionage. The company’s clients include Dell, HP and IBM. Quanta Computer, which supplies servers and data centres to Google and Facebook, has also moved production to Beijing, citing cybersecurity, tariffs and geopolitical concerns.
