CptPower, 10 Nov 2020Would like to see what happens if they find Foxconn doing same dirty things. Would like to see what would happen if China became a normal democracy, with real elections, no "for life" dictators, and normal business practices. Apple and other Western companies have pushed some good changes in China and elsewhere and have made working conditions better. That's a fact. So, good on Apple.
There is a good question of why the developed economies allowed their large companies to set up shop in China in the first place when China bans virtually every Western media and information-providing Western company, and it engages in IP theft and predatory trade practices. But that is a separate issue.

I say Apple must give all iPhone assembly to Non corrupt and capable like Lux Share which is exclusively taken orders from Apple to assemble all of the AirPods models since 2016

China is not a poor country anymore where such practices can not be tolerated. Students working may be okay but upon that overtime shifts is too much.
This is the classic example of exploitation of your citizens. Just imagine after so much sensorship this news came out then how much more wrong is going on there.
Also each and every greedy channel partner is here to blaim. Pegatron, apple, distributor and even the buyers who has promoted such practices by purchasing such products.

Designed in the West, all made in Asia. Korea, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, India.. etc etc
So isn't it funny why only Apple take action, while the rest is silent? No goal for carbon free, no goal for working condition, no goal for toxic free..

Same goes for other companies too but to lesser extent.
