Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, has admitted to using underage interns in factories in China, employing children as young as 14. It’s the latest in the string of scandals surrounding the company’s activity in the country. The largest Foxconn factory is in Longhua, Shenzhen. 

106 underage workers found at the time, however had 70 had left prior to the investigation.

 

16 people have jumped from high buildings at the factory in 2010, with 12 deaths. A further 20 people were stopped by the company before they could attempt to kill themselves.

 

The hysteria at Longhua, where between 300,000 and 400,000 employees eat, work and sleep, has grown to such a pitch that workers have twisted Foxconn’s Chinese name so that it now sounds like: “Run to your Death”.
