Foxconn Plans American Expansion as Clients Seek Made in U.S.A.
- facorreia 14y agoThat would be an interesting twist: made in U.S.A. by a Chinese company.
- kmfrk 14y agoI think The Atlantic's term "insourcing" seems pretty apt in this context.
- jasonjei 14y agoTechnically speaking (and not trying to nitpick), it would be a Taiwanese company (the ROC as distinct from the PRC), but yes, I definitely do see the irony.
- facorreia 14y agoPoint taken; I was thinking of it as a Chinese company because of their high-profile plants in China but it is actually Taiwanese.
- stcredzero 14y ago> That would be an interesting twist: made in U.S.A. by a Chinese company. Much of the modern quality driven industrial culture of Japan came from ideas born in the USA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming The whole history of the world and of technology is one interesting twist after another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_(TV_series) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_(TV_series)

- twelvechairs 14y agoThis is to the point. To me its interesting as an outsider (Australian/European) to see arguments over social welfare and working conditions happening between America (which generally prides itself on being 'not like those socialists in Europe/Canada/etc.') and China (still officially Communist).

- clicks 14y agoSorry if I'm missing something but... how do you scroll down that page? The scroll bar seems to have been disabled for goodness-knows-what-reason. I'm having to just scroll down by scrolling all the text and maneuvering my way down... but that hardly seems like an elegant and proper way to scroll down.
- iProject 14y agoIn what browser. There's scroll bar in Safari 6/Mac. And Safari’s "Reader" feature also seems to scroll it properly.
- chnx 14y agoI also can't see the scrollbar or scroll the page with OS X 10.7.5 and Google Chrome 23.0.1271.95. It works in Safari and Firefox.
- clicks 14y agoIn Chrome. But I seem to have gotten it now by messing around with the page. Here, a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/DirT2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DirT2.jpg (yes, I do browse the web with pages enlarged -- 1080p on a 15" laptop results in text being too small for my eyes to comfortably read)
