Thanks, Wuyuetian. But Foxconn is as foxy as a fox. Just after raising the workers' salaries, they have decided to moved their factories to Wuhan,Tianjin and Yantai. You know, the minimum wage standards in these places are much cheaper than Shenzhen. They can keep squeezing their workers again.

How smart it is! They can not afford the cost in Shenzhen after the salary rise. Now they decide to move.

Very true. They haven't decided where to move to so far because the have several choices. The previous reports said that Foxconn would move to Henan Province and they had already reached an agreement. However, Foxconn denied later. Now, Foxconn starts to recruit workers from Henan Province. But Foxconn still doesn't say they will move to Henan Province.

So smart! Foxconn is comparing these locations and expecting more preferential policies. Just like a foxy fox.
