Pay the workers you filthy capitalists :xi-gun:

Surveillance cameras and windows smashed by men with sticks

Workers complain of delayed pay, insufficient food

Some videos of the protests (possibly): https://twitter.com/lolc936163/status/1595421244236566536

    they’ve slapped down foxconn for this shit before, it’s very likely they will again.

    Foxconn has an annoying effective monopoly in their sector that China is trying to overcome by funding mainland competitors. That takes time in hardware manufacturing.

    Every time the CPC acts against Foxconn it also threatens to turn into a diplomatic proxy pissing contest with the Taiwanese regional government, so they tend to pick their battles.

      Nationalise Foxconn.

      Every time I see any worker abuse article from China, it’s always fucking Foxconn.

            Alan Yeung is a professor of entrepreneurship

            Jesus Christ what a fucking useless job.

            “There is no factory. Why not address that in the book?”

            That will be the next book.

            MY MAN.

            He’s got the grifter shit down.

          US is already fucking foaming at its mouth to restart the Cold War. They’ll use anything, doesn’t matter what China does.

            But what China need is for the global south and EU not joining with the sanction. Just look at recent tech ban, the yank can't convince it allied to join their ban, by having a justification, yank allies will join the sanction

            Some shit has more weight behind it than others, going after a Tawain-based company that is critical to America’s capitalists is a move that needs to be considered carefully.

            We also already started a second cold war with China years ago. It’s ongoing.

          Taiwan is not going to declare war on China. It'll saber-rattle, but every leader in Taiwan knows that the product of war with China is millions and millions of Taiwanese deaths in a brutal war followed by a long insurgency that ultimately fails.
