Working conditions at Apple's Chinese iPhone factory 'are quite drastic'

Description

Apple's major supplier Foxconn said on Thursday a "technical error" occurred when hiring new recruits at a COVID-hit iPhone factory in China and apologised to workers after the company was rocked by fresh labour unrest. Men smashed surveillance cameras and clashed with security personnel as hundreds of workers protested at the world's biggest iPhone plant in Zhengzhou city on Wednesday, in rare scenes of open dissent in China sparked by claims of overdue pay and frustration over severe COVID-19 restrictions. With the major iPhone factory currently rocked by protests over pay and working conditions, FRANCE 24 is joined by Jean-François Di Meglio, President of Asia Center.
