For the for the first time ever, we take a dive into Chinese electronic gadget manufacturing companies. Foxconn is such a big deal for China that anything around it is a national issue: the subcontractor singlehandedly employs one million persons in China and stands for a third of Chinese exports. Suicide, exhaustion and pollution: what Apple and other brands are trying so hard to hide. In 2010, Foxconn had the medias’ attention because of a suicide wave: 13 persons committed suicides because they couldn’t keep up the infernal production rate of the IPhone. If suicides are so usual in Foxconn factories, it is because the working conditions are particularly grueling: working up to 14 hours a day standing without a break, entire months without any day off, meager salaries and constant pressure. Even the most motivated Chinese employee would crack up. Foxconn is not only harmful to its employees. The environment surrounding its plants is particularly impacted. Lakes have been contaminated by chemicals, causing chronic diseases in whole villages.
