TAIPEI, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn 2317.TW has
received Chinese government approval to resume production at a
key plant in the northern China city of Zhengzhou, a source with
direct knowledge of the situation told Reuters on Monday.
But the company, which makes smartphones for global vendors
including Apple AAPL.O , is still in talks with the government
to resume production at another plant in the southern Chinese
city of Shenzhen, the source added.
Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai, did not immediately
respond to a request for comment.
China blocked a plan by Foxconn to resume production in
China from Monday, the Nikkei business daily reported on
Saturday, amid concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus.
