In China all debt is naturally borrowed from communist government-owned banks. But this is not the debt model outside of China. "Am wondering how much of Foxxconn debt is from non-China banks, an important number." Like most major companies in the world Hon Hai Precision Industry Ltd., better known as Foxconn Technology Group, has borrowed money by issuing publicly-traded bonds, which currently total about US $23.5 billion. When Hon Hai purchased Sharp Electronics of Japan in 2016 they took on the debts Sharp owed to two Japanese banks, Mizuho and MUFG which became preferred stock in the acquisition. After Hon Hai stabilized Sharp's Osaka-based businesses Sharp issued a 200 billion Yen bond offering ($1.81 billion) to pay-off the banks. With Hon Hai's backing, Sharp also purchased Toshiba's laptop business and Toshiba's Client Solutions Business. . With the slowdown of iPhone X sales, which it assembles for Apple. The world's largest contract manufacturer logged a 7% decline in net profit to 138.7 billion New Taiwan dollars ($4.66 billion) last year, marking the first drop in nine years. The rush of new earnings from their Sharp and their Toshiba subsidiaries are in line with Hon Hai's drive to wean itself off contract manufacturing and boost its own brand operations. But still, Hon Hai has announced a major expansion of contract manufacturing in India. Sharp's new 8k televisions are built in plants around the world, including Kameyama, Japan; Baja California, Mexico for the North America market; and in Guangzhou, China for the Chinese market.
