Unfortunately, I believe the OP misrepresents the original article quite a bit. The Chinese article is three pages long but their summary only covers details from the first page. The second page features personal stories from several employees and their families, which the journalist said made a much deeper impression than the tasks he went through as an undercover employee. The third is a commentary along the lines of "is this the best China can do?" (i.e. forever be implementing other countries' creativity, instead of being the inventors), and a final reflection saying that working conditions at Foxconn have improved greatly over the last two years (apparently working undercover at Foxconn is something that's been done several times before), but the hostile attitude toward employees has not improved.
Aside the editorial content at the end, I think the article was quite fair in that the journalist simply reporte what he saw (if the windows really have screens installed for suicide prevention, merely describing this fact does not make an article "trash"). I also don't think the author has any intent of making the Western world go up in arms about anything. The point is more about checking how much things have changed since the famous chain of suicides was made public.
