Nokia to shutter Hangzhou R&D site and cut 1,600 jobs in China
Nokia reportedly plans to cut 1,600 jobs in China and shutter its Hangzhou R&D site, with additional reductions expected across facilities in Beijing, Qingdao and Shanghai. The company says the steps will better align its China operations with its global model as local business declines. Nokia recently took back control of its Chinese joint venture and is simplifying its ownership structure.
