Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, headquartered in Taipei. While China has a ways to go on working conditions, the overall trend (as with pretty much every other metric) is that their conditions continue to improve due to increasing regulation, ours continue to decline in the dearch for increasing profits. I'm definitely hoping they achieve a better work/life balancr, although having been to Taiwan, I'll say they certainly can't throw any stones in that department either lol
Yes foxconn is taiwanese, but the factories I'm talking about are in Shenzhen China, therefore subject to Chinese labor laws. I do agree that things are improving over there, but they have a long way to go before I would say the country cares about health and safety of everyone
