SHANGHAI - Some technology firms in China have maintained operations to manufacture parts and products despite government calls in various cities and provinces for companies to halt work to help stop the spread of a new coronavirus.
The spokesman said most of the production was in Dongguan, a city in the southern province of Guangdong. "At present, production and operations at YMTC are proceeding normally and in an orderly manner," a company spokesman wrote in a statement. "SMIC needs to ensure that factory production runs 365 days a year and 24 hours a day to meet customers' fabrication needs," the company said in the post.
