"I feel that China is starting to get the coronavirus under control. If you look at the numbers, they are going down every day. So I'm very optimistic about that. When it comes to suppliers, as you already know, the iPhone is manufactured all over the world. We have key components sourced from the US, key components from China, and so on. So if you look at parts made in China, we've reopened factories and they can work despite the current state. Also, production is increasing, so I can see that, as if we werei in the third phase of returning to normal.'
