It doesn't make a lot of sense for Chinese media to do a hit piece for Chinese readers if the working conditions are the norm.
- PakG1 14y agoIt does make sense when Apple is involved and is a foreign company that makes oodles of cash. It then becomes a very political thing. Plus, normal factories are nowhere near Foxconn's scale, so they're usually not worth reporting on, unless you're doing an industry-wide report. Foxconn has captured the world's attention. The industry has not. What is flashy is what sells, always has.
