Is that true? Last I read[0] "the suicide rate was comparable to its host country’s".

- licebmi__at__ 4y agoI have no idea of the data, but is suicide evenly distributed on society? I mean, it’s mostly a topic, but I expect more suicide from unemployed, disabled or old people, not employed adults.
- NeverFade 4y agoI clarified the comment, since suicide rates aren't the only factor by which to judge or point out the issues at Foxconn. Foxconn had a long list of labor abuse[0], and apparently they still do given large-scale worker protests last November[1].
