I wonder what Apple would now list if updating their FY20 supplier list[1] which simply states "Taiwan" for manufacturing locations for many of their suppliers.

Some of the suppliers in the list[1] operate manufacturing facilities in both mainland China and Taiwan, and their websites refer to a combination of "China", "Taiwan" and "R.O.C.". I do wonder how difficult it would be for these companies to deal with both governments at the same time! For example, the visa policies of each government towards each other appear to be very restrictive[2][3].
