BOE has two 6-Gen OLED production lines in Sichuan (the B7 line in Chengdu which started operation in 2017, and the line in Mianyang). The company says that it will have to "make adjustments" to its operations in both lines, but it does not expect any major impact on its operations.

BOE suffered from several setbacks to its OLED business lately. Earlier this year the company had to cut back its AMOLED production as it could not secure enough driver ICs. It also suffered from cancelled ordered from Apple following a non-authorized change to the display backplane. It seemed to have overcome from the problems with Apple, and hopefully this new problem will be over soon.
