Google is moving its Pixel smartphone production from China to Vietnam as it plans to build a cheap supply chain in Southeast Asia, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on Aug. 28.

The shift came as a result of rising Chinese labor costs, as well as added burden from tariffs due to the ongoing U.S.-China trade war.
