Foxconn workers in Zhengzhou are still fighting with the special police

Is there something similar to https://www.fairphone.com/en/ in the US?

and still Apple remains silent on this.

when you squeeze your vendors ruthlessly, vendors squeeze their management, and they then squeeze the workers, and so on. so I believe Apple cultivates this environment directly or indirectly.

i remember the workers in india apple factory also rioting from total absence of pay.

The alternative is that the US govt tells apple to get their shit together or they’re going to get fined a % of yearly revenue.

Asking people to stop buying iPhones will never work. Government regulation will, and has in the past.

Oh they will, there will be no iPhones this holiday season :-)

I think that is the problem. The foxconn lockdown was an extralegal capitalist enforced quarantine rule enforced separately from the government rules that kept all the workers semi-permanently locked in the campus for profit stability. The foxconn campus was its own microcosm that existed as an island inside China and in retrospect, shouldn't have been given the power to do so.
