Sure, nobody is putting a gun to your head, but if Foxconn being the only employer in the city and the other alternative is starving homeless, does it still count as having a choice?
Maybe if we're being pedantic, but realistically that's modern economic slavery.
- nottorp 5y ago> if Foxconn being the only employer in the city As far as i know Foxconn factories are cities. You don't look for a Foxconn ad in your city, you get on the train and relocate there. Wikipedia says: Number of employees 1,290,000 (2020). The largest Foxconn factory is located in Longhua Town, Shenzhen, where hundreds of thousands of workers (varying counts include 230,000, 300,000, and 450,000). [I live in a 400k city.] Another Foxconn factory "city" is located at Zhengzhou Technology Park in Zhengzhou, Henan province, where a reported 120,000 workers are employed as of 2012.
