(CNET) Chinese authorities probe iPhone worker’s death
(PCWorld) iPhone Suicide Case Spotlights Tech’s Dark Side
Apparently many foreign media can not understand why a guy will jump off the building just because the iPhone he was in charge went missing? Well, it appears to me there are two factors:
1) It’s very very hard to get a good job for new graduates in China these days. Thus they join Foxconn, the “sweater shop” if you will. Not much rights once you join that shop. I suggest my western friends go there once and get some real world experience on sweater shop before express their views.
2) He was tortured. Again remember Foxconn is a “sweater shop” happens making iPhone.
