Nintendo moves some Switch production to Vietnam

Nintendo is moving some production of the Switch to Vietnam, to decrease its dependence on China for manufacturing.
The rumour that Nintendo was seeking other locations for Switch production surfaced last month, but the Japanese company would not offer official comment on the specifics of its plan.
Today, a Nintendo spokesperson confirmed to Reuters that the new location will be Vietnam, and the shift in its operations will happen this summer.
Nintendo also said that the move was motivated by the current tension between China and the United States, and the likelihood of higher tariffs on products shipped between the two countries.
