    Definitely agree that the CPC needs to slap this shit down.

    As for nationalization, I think the CPC is being very careful in what cards it plays and which cards it holds onto as a threat of further escalation. Even during the Trump Trade War and the current chip embargo the CPC didn't impose and drastic measures like restricting critical rare earth exports.

    In this case it's probably enough for the CPC to order Foxxcon to pay workers double or triple what they're owed and maybe a hefty fine on top of that. Maybe some not-so-subtle threats to the execs behind the scenes.
