iRage: Apple's FoxConn China Plant Damaged As Riots Resume

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following the riots at Apple's FoxConn Chengdu plant in June, engadget is reporting that FoxConn's Taiyuan plant - the scene of earlier strikes over salary disputes back in March - has suffered damage as workers riot. Police are on site to control the crowd and while the motive is not clear, it is apparently unrelated to the recent anti-Japan protests. It appears - based on the clip and photos below - that much damage has been done in the process.

I deplore how these companies’ subject third world workers to deplorable working conditions and low wages.  However, I won't give up my IPhone in protest.  After all, being cool by having the latest IPhone is much more important than my social conscience.

At least in China, the PEOPLE realize they have power to make a difference.  If people in "the west" realized this the banking industry and the central banking mobsters would be destroyed with financial revolt...

fight back: shop locally owned business ONLY, pay cash ONLY.

Hoard: gold, silver, nickels (liquidate all other coin - throw away pennies, force treasury to remake pennies)

So good to see that people are able to protest in China. They wouldn't try to protest like that in the US. iProtest. Long live the Chinese. Repudiate all patents and copyrights. Free the people from the control freak scum. Down with Apple. Which of course has nothing whatsoever to do with the FED's software that generates the graphs of Apple's stock price and the Nasdaq or Apple's accounting for that matter. Or the banks. Yes the f'n banks. They are responsible for the worldwide chaos descending upon humankind. First the Arabs go after the banksters now the Chinese and next the Europeans and finally, DHS not prevailing, the US. Peace on earth and angels sing. Long live the revolution.

Whoa!  How funny you should say that! 

 

Off Topic, sorry, but needed lead-in:  

 

There is some speculation that the earth is a 'ZOO', watched over by our 'Alien Keepers'.

 

CUI BONO?!  WHAT IF instead of a zoo, the earth is a 'stockyard'?  "Go forth, breed, and cover the land."  (Genetic mutations ALL favor sexual reproduction)

 

What if there truly IS a harvest coming, and WE'RE IT!?

And Barry thought he was fooling the proles with those faux complaints about the Chinese automotive industry. The Chinese showing Barry what's going to happen to America's most "important" company unless he backs off. And Romney baiting Barry to respond with his faux "China cheating" campaign commercials.

Why would they strike and riot when they can save more in one year, $7600-10k, than any middle or lower class American could possibly save? I don't even get free room and board in my Mom's basement under the capitalist system.

Was wondering the same..

Guessing it's those rich kids playing virtual-mahjiang on there iphones without need of a job. They just leach of the robots who manufacture them 12 hours a day in the plant.

That, plus the fact that life's probably not all that fun on 10k anywhere in China. (Just guessing).

That's approx $600+ per month. A ligit iphone4s is $700 - $1000 in China

You couldn't stand a day, Foxconn assembly-line workers make $400 a month, or $4800 a year or 6 Iphones without contract a year.

Alas, alas, triple alas for 'americans' who are used to practising this kind of tricks as shown by history.

'Americans' will have to find other people than chinese or kiss goodbye to one share of their profits as employing Chinese will cost more than raising the wages of those SA miners.

in 'american' economics, work does not belong to the workers of the world but to 'americans' and then only to the lower bidder, the cheaper offer.
Chineses are no longer that.

That is the reality of the 'american' world the world lives in.

When dire times come and that you are an extorter of the weak and farmer of the work, the conventional solution is to pass down the pain to the extorted and the farmed.

'Americans' run a business of extorting the weak, farming the poor on a world scale.

The US is the mecca of 'americanism' and the world is organized so that the US is the ultimate consumption sink.

Everyone is entitled to see the ripples of 'americans' running the conventional procedure in order to avoid feeling the pain.

As stated already, the US will be exempted from social unrest as the causes are exported elsewhere.

Nothing matches the proof by the example, courtesy of 'americans'.

This is an 'american' world and a US world order.

I'm not sure but are you referring to Americans? If you could crarify it would be greatry appreciated.

 

 

Your googish culture is sorrily not the one to be disparaging others. i think i speak for the rest of the planet when i say the last thing 6.5 billion others ever want to see is bus loads of you rolling up to a tourist destination in purple descente ski suits and cameras. It took a couple decades but the japanese finally went home. Please just keep shitting in your own nest, stay where you are and everything will work out just fine, oh and keep hoarding steel.
