I like how how they try to point those things back at Apple, but the fact is, everything built on China is the same. Foxconn is rich because they do that, and China is rich because all factories do that.
China is a regime, and it's convenient for the west that it stays that way. It's a source of inexpensive labour force and a place you can pollute building your gadgets. If they were to follow the most strict rules from EU/US, there's no way in hell that you would have access to cheap electronics.
Now I ask: would you exchange first world conditions for those workers for more expensive products? The majority of us consumers don't have a clue, we just go for what has a good cost/benefit. Ethics often isn't a factor on where we spend our money.
