Violent protests have broken out around Foxconn's vast iPhone factory in central China, as workers clashed with security personnel over pay and living conditions at the plant. | News24_Business

In videos shared on Weibo and Twitter that AFP has verified, hundreds of workers can be seen marching on a road in daylight. Some were confronted by riot police and people in hazmat suits.A night-time video showed a man with a bloodied face as someone off-camera says:"They're hitting people, hitting people. Do they have a conscience?"

In a daytime video, several fire trucks surrounded by police in hazmat suits were parked near residential blocks while a voice on a loudspeaker was heard saying:"All workers please return to their accommodation, do not associate with a small minority of illegal elements." Foxconn said workers had complained about pay and conditions at the plant but denied it had housed new recruits with Covid-positive staff at the Zhengzhou factory, the world's largest producer of iPhones.

The huge facility of about 200,000 workers - dubbed"iPhone City" - has since been operating in a"closed loop" bubble. In the place of the fleeing workers, the firm has offered large bonuses and other incentives for employees who stayed as the local government bussed in fresh labourers in a bid to keep the factory afloat.
