You might be thinking of Japan. In japan you are expected to kill yourself every time someone on the internet says you should kill yourself. Naturally, the suicide rate is astoundingly high.

Well, if that were the expectation in ATOT it would be pretty lonely here.

I'm not in the slightest bit surprised. Chinese "prison labor" has been common knowledge for decades...yet people ignore it because, "It's a Chinese problem...I just want cheap stuff."

This isn't news...

Gosh, all of you guys are idiots.

Taiwan- based, the company is not Chinese, and yes I know the Chinese claim Taiwan as Chinese-Taipei.

The general lack of brains in this thread is hilarious.

Yet Chinese workers are falling over themselves to get a chance to work there.

When there is a surplus of labor you take what you can get, that doesn't mean the job is wonderful.

Can we get the mods to expand this thread? I don't think your bloated ego will fit in here as it stands.

Chinese law, says the Global Times, requires regular health checks for employees whose jobs bring them into contact with hazardous materials such as are used in electronics manufacturing. One Foxconn employee, however, told the investigators that during his 16 years with the company, he had received "medical support" only twice.

.......

The same company report notes that Foxconn provides psychological support for its workers: "At the counseling clinics in Shenzhen Longhua and Guanlan, there are currently three doctors with equipment to conduct diagnosis of behavioral disorders. To date, the clinics have helped save more than thirty lives."

For those of you who don't know, Shenzhen, Longua, and Guanlan are cities in mainland China.

I know where Shenzen is, but after looking at that article no where does it explicitly state which country the abuse took place, at least not in the portion posted.

Even in the portion you posted it only says where they have behavioral disorders. People seem to be latching onto this corporal punishment issue though and automatically blaming it on China.

For the record, I'm not some patriotic Chinese person.

lulz Foxconn is probably one of the better ones operating there.
