Foxconn has been notorious amongst Chinese labor activists for years. Its enormous size, the strict discipline imposed on its employees and its cramped dormitories with 3-tiered bunk beds make it stand out from other Chinese IT factories – not to mention the fact that it is the biggest manufacturer of electronic and computer components in the world.But never has this Taiwanese corporate giant had to deal with a scandalas big as this. A spate of 12 suicide attempts in less than five months(nine successful) has thrown the international spotlight on Foxconn andthe big-name brands that buy from it. A lot has been written in Englishalready. So in this edition of CLNT, we will supplement the extensive English language coverage with three articles which convey some of the Chinese responses to the suicides.
