If you thick just because you don't buy apple products and you're pretty proud of yourself, think again, almost all of your PC I/O ports are made by foxconn.

pursuit of happiness + cheap labor + corrupt officials + Communism

and so how is this Apple's fault?

Sad to say but this is no different from other factories of other industries (plastics, furniture, steel etc.) operate and treat their workers. I just finished touring furniture production factories for my employer and this is pretty common throughout Chinese factories.

On the other hand, some migrant workers are actually protesting for the sake of their well-being initiated by this incident: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_876621.html

Oh fuck off. Trying to make people feel bad for buying computers with ports. what do you suggest, people stop buying computers? Ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure he's saying that the people who are boycotting Apple shouldn't feel so high and mighty cause they make more than just apple products. Not that you shouldn't but things with ports.

This is not a surprise, chinese factories are ALL like this. this is why the the rich stays rich and the poor stays poor.

:lol friend posted this video on fb trying to make the people who own apple products feel bad. Was one of the dumbest posts I've ever seen on fb.

It's the mere fact that some companies haven't allowed their horror stories to be released, or known.

sounds like there are some Apple fans in here ;)

That's explain why mainlanders bought their kids 60k+ cars...

what u thought the rich gets rich by being legit?

I used to think the same way, but really if you believe that then that's quite narrow-minded.

"Foxconn is no angel, but suicides and labor exploitation in China is NOT in anyway unique to them. They are getting singled out by the Chinese-controlled media partially because they are a Taiwanese-owned company. It is very likely that the chair your sitting in, the monitor your viewing this with, are all made by manufacturers that treat their employees like Foxconn."
