Nokia is closing its Hangzhou R&D site; a senior US official reportedly met with Nokia recently. China exit plus US engagement suggests Nokia is repositioning as a geopolitical ally, potentially creating US-backed tailwinds. Author views Nokia’s China divestment as a positive strategic shift rather than a revenue loss. No confirmed US contracts; China revenue loss could hurt; R&D closure disrupts operations.
