Apple shifted orders from Foxconn to Luxshare to assist $275B China deal
GeorgeBMac said:9secondkox2 said:Hope TSMC is watching.Apple is hurting Taiwan based Foxconn tremendously here.Next, China will start a chip foundry and pressure Apple into shifting their processors there. Short of military terrorism and attempted takeover against Taiwan, China will use strong arm market tactics. Actually, thanks to Apples compliance, they already are.TSMC should consider leaning more into the Intel partnership and others. That will hedge against catastrophe should Apple pull another fast one.China already has chip factories. But they're growing them at record rates to defend themselves against foolish, counter-productive American sanctions.As for Taiwan, they don't have to take it. It's already theirs. it's been theirs. But yeh, they'll do what they need to do to keep it from splitting off -- just as the U.S. did when some of our territories tried the same.
The western mentality is to deny Taiwan as a part of China. China think western nations are splitting Taiwan from China. According to the western theory, since Taiwan is not a part of China. China wants to hurt Taiwan and TSMC. Do you see the contradictions of these two thoughts?
The sad truth is Taiwan is now ruled by separatists party DPP. DPP try to coerce western nations into thinking Taiwan is an independent nation. The same as Uyguirs separatists are doing. -

AppleUfmyI said:Just pull all manufacturer out of China. They will use the money we pay them to build their military and attack us at some point in time. We are stupid to think otherwise. All they have to do now is claim ownership of an American company in China and take it and all it’s assets and IP over and we are powerless to do anything. But the shareholders will cry and ask our average American sons and daughters in the military will be asked to step up and ensure the .1 of 1%-ters keep their share. We should never have enrich our advisories for profit and we never ever should have exported our superior computer technology around the world giving up our supremacy. Gloomy picture, I know. But the world is run by a few greedy families and its all legal and very obfuscated. -

Foxconn must improve living conditions for workers at shuttered iPhone plant

Why would Apple or Foxconn have to deal with the living conditions of the workers in their factories? Are living arrangements part of the agreement for employment? I feel this article should have at least explained this, just so we have some more context.Effectively, those workers are Apple employees. Foxconn is essentially just a contractor or middleman. So, Apple holds some degree of responsibility for those employees.The U.S. practiced worker abuse until Roosevelt strengthened regulations to protect American workers. Since then, stopping abuse of workers has become a cornerstone of our democracy. If we are to hold to our principles, worker protections against abuse by American companies do not stop when that American company operates in other countries.
