Guys, I see differently about the what is happening in foxconn.
I am Chinese, and I am working in China now.
China is developing, still a developing country in many aspects.
The law is not well considered to protect the weak in many ways. The government is working on to make China a better country. but before we are "better", there will be tragedies. We Chinese do not make much money like you guys in States, and also services we can get in China can not be anywhere like what you can get in States. You have Work Unions, we have that too, but the union we have is to afraid to say anything or do anything to protect the workers. the power is not in their hand.
Yes, by killing themselves does not solve any real problems, but they did grab the attention of the world that the a company should pay more attention on their employees, they are people not machines.
Hopefully, Apple, Dell and HP can do something good for about the policy & process of outsourcing & OEM partners. lower the cost to make their product more competitive is one thing, doing the right thing is also a must, other wise, what would be the difference between them and Nazi?
Hopefully also the Chinese government can also start reviewing the labor law to ensure a healty ecosystem for the whole country.
