Reported today in Business news:
They say it's just going to be 'some' of them (and can't impact the 2021 models), but you know how it went for Toshiba, JVC and Hitachi...
Panasonic has already had Vestel (Turkish) make some of its low end UK/Europe models for a few years now and in Asia/India they often rebadge TCL and Skyworth (Chinese). In the US they tried rebadging Skyworth before quitting altogether.
FYI, JVC TVs at Currys are a mix of Vestel (usually the Fire TVs) and Konka (mostly Android ones) (Chinese).
Panasonic mulls reducing TV production, shifting some to China's TCL
Panasonic Corp. is considering shifting production of small and midsize televisions to Chinese home appliance maker TCL Corp. as the Japanese electronics company aims to focus on larger, high-end products, sources with knowledge of the matter say.
