Are you going to also complain about Canonical partnering with the Chinese government in creating a Ubuntu derivative[1][2]? [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuKylin https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuKylin [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UbuntuKylin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UbuntuKylin Business relationships make for strange bedfellows, and I'm sure Mozilla has some serious preconceptions about working with Foxconn, however it should be comforting that we're moving beyond the world of Microsoft/Apple/Google dominating consumer electronics.

What does that have to do with Foxconn? Is it because Foxconn is in China and Mozilla is FOSS, like Ubuntu? I don't think the parent was making a comment about either China, or FOSS, but about Foxconn, Apple (their most well-known and largest customer), Mozilla, and people's perceptions of partnership with Foxconn seeming situational.

  The Chinese Government's human rights record ain't exactly spotless either... I think that was the point he was making.
