1. Extended closure! Foxconn's Indian plant collapses, large-scale poisoning incident sparks public outrage

Foxconn has stumbled in India.

Recently, a senior Indian official announced that Apple supplier Foxconn's factory near Chennai, India, will continue to be closed for three more days. Previously, the factory had been shut down for a week due to a large-scale outbreak of food poisoning among employees.

Last week, more than 250 employees of the factory were infected with acute diarrhea and sent to the hospital, resulting in 159 hospitalizations, most of whom were women. The incident drew attention to the living conditions of workers in the local area and sparked protests at one point.

Analysts have pointed out that the factory has strategic significance. Under the tense trade situation between China and the United States, the Indian production chain can reduce Apple's dependence on Chinese factories. It is reported that the factory is mainly responsible for producing iPhone 12 and has started trial production of iPhone 13.

With the rise of domestic mobile phones in recent years, the Chinese mobile phone market has become increasingly saturated, and Apple plans to shift its development center to India. However, Foxconn, as an Apple contract manufacturer, has repeatedly encountered setbacks in India. Due to poor management and frequent overtime, Foxconn's workers in India have also gone on strike one after another, causing serious obstacles to the normal operation and production of the factory.

Foxconn, which has always been known as a "sweatshop," may not be easy to make a fortune by squeezing cheap labor.
