That would be assuming 2000 Foxconn workers could potentially afford one. Sad as that is, there probably isn't a single one that could. Work and living conditions in their facilities are at the very best appalling and demeaning and there's plenty of recent reports on the net suggesting it won't get any better soon.
You do realise that working life outside of these factories can be even grimmer? I am not sticking up for Foxconn and I'm not being racist (being Chinese myself) but a lot of China is still very underdeveloped and in poverty. Surely, about 300 to 400 million are now middle class but in a population of 1.3 billion that's very much the minority.
Yes, I realize that and you made a valid point. It is a global problem, not just China's, though one way (and possibly the most obvious one) of addressing at least some of the concerns would be putting even more pressure on companies like Foxconn, simply for being in the limelight. I'm not a politician, but surely there's ways to improve work conditions with measures agreeable to both sides and not substantially increase production costs, no?
Yeah cause thats gonna help you guys to get better working conditions and such. Rioting leaving 40 fellow colleagues injured requiring hospital treatment. Thumbs up for you there lads!
