A violent workers’ revolt at the world’s largest iPhone factory this week in central China is further scrambling Apple’s strained supply and highlighting how the country’s stringent zero-Covid policy is hurting global technology firms. The troubles started last month when workers left the factory campus in Zhengzhou, the capital of the central province of Henan, due to Covid fears. Short on staff, bonuses were offered to workers to return.
It said its assembly facility in Zhengzhou, which normally houses some 200,000 workers, was “currently operating at significantly reduced capacity,” due to Covid curbs. The Zhengzhou campus has been grappling with a Covid outbreak since mid-October that caused panic among its workers. Videos of people leaving Zhengzhou on foot went viral on Chinese social media in early November, forcing Foxconn to step up measures to get its staff back.
Who wants to leave work, just leave.
Make the damn phones in America. People already dumb enough to pay $1000+ for one. They'll give up $2000, not because of Made in USA, but because they're addicted to Apple.
China crazy
CNN won't say that U.S. chip policy is hurting global technology firms
The whole world comes together to boycott the iPhone, because the iPhone is undemocratic phone
ASI SON LAS DICTADURAS OPRIMINIENDO A SU GENTE PEOR LAS NARCODITADURAS METIENDO PRESOS A TODO EL MUNDO Y VENDIENDO DROGAS A TODO EL MUNDO DIOS LIBRE AL MUNDO LIBRE Y DEMOCRATICO DE ESTOS CRIMINALES DEL SIGLO 21 Y FORO DE SAO PAULO EN AMERICA
With this unusual regime, this country can cause serious damage to anywhere and to whatever it is possible for it to save its own country, the world should be alert.
Good, why not building factory in Mexico? US is 'fighting' China by moving all businesses and factories there...🤔
Serves them right charging ridiculous prices and putting all their eggs in one basket to make maximum profits
Elon Musk is talking phones 📱
Redistribution of world wealth will happen. The begining of the end for super rich.

Thanks Putin!
CNN, The headline starts with the workers‘ revolt to then talk about the chain supply! Talk about the worker’s revolt.
constant testing and lockdown can break anyone down.
You cannot rely on non-Democracies to be your major supply chain. A rudimentary understanding of global affairs would have told you so... When China attacks Taiwan & sanctions start rolling like with Russia + US troops are attacked. US companies will be forced to leave/fail
Flip4 best phone ever
Boohoo cry me a river there will be fewer garbage tweets coming from iphones made in China.
Actually US shitty chip war is hurting the global technological developments..this unrest was not because of Zero covid policy, it was because of some unfair decisions by Foxiconn management
Fucking CNN's reports! Why donot you say the shitting US's chip policy is hurting global cooperation and economy.
If the phones are made in China how does Apple justify the ridiculous prices?
Remember when Steve Jobs made fun od chinese Apple workers who commited suicide because they where desperate?
