?Foxconn is reported to be planning to build the world's largest manufacturing base for smart phones based in Central China's Henan province next year.
The base will be centered on the Foxconn Science Park in Zhengzhou, provincial capital of Henan, increasing its current production lines to 95, the Henan provincial development and reform commission announced during a conference.
The factory expansion is said to be costing US$1.1 billion.
Foxconn, along with many other component assembly plants has been seeking to move production away from the coastal areas where higher wages are being demanded along with improved working conditions. Zhengzhou's labor costs that are about two-thirds those in China's coastal cities.
The government is also keen to reduce the huge labour mobility swings as people move to the coast to seek work.
The existing plant in Zhengzhou has already reached a daily production of 200,000 Apple iPhones and employed 130,000 people, said Guo Gengmao, governor of Henan province. It opened earlier this year.
