I'm not going to say Foxconn was doing business the way Chinese do business, but maybe there's a culture thing there.
- blackrock 6y agoFoxconn is a Taiwanese company. Every HN’er here promotes for the freedom and democracy loving people of Taiwan. They even claim it’s a country. So get your “country” correct.
