That's what happens when there's no organized labor, no real labor laws, and you let the so-called "free market" capitalists do whatever they want.
没有组织的劳务以及没有真正的劳务法规下就会发生这一切,是你让所谓的自由市场资本家爲所欲爲。

There are about a billion plus Chinamen in China. Sure you will have casualties here and there. An employer of over 300,000 employees looses only 10 Chinamen. Not even a 1/4 of a single drop. What is the issue here?
At least the guy decided to finish his job before committing suicide
至少这家伙决定在完成他的工作后自杀

In the USA, some frustrated employees actually shoot their abusive employers; that's much better than committing suicide.
10 out of 300,000 is below the national average suicide rate
30万分之10低于全国平均自杀率

Can you imagine 300,000 people working at one plant?
你能想象三十万人在一个工厂工作吗?

If China is such a bad country,maybe the USA should stop borrowing money from them. The USA can't even pay the interest rate back let alone the loans.God forbid the US dollar collapses 。
If we stopped buying products made from china our homes would be empty and our feet would be shoeless.
如果我们抵制中国制造,我们的家里将会空无一物,我们的脚甚至都不会有鞋穿

If you all think this is bad, then should would love to know how many illegal immigrants that Foxconn knowingly employs in the US. It would make your heads spin
Boycott Apple, Dell, HP, Nokia, Sony and many others
抵制苹果,戴尔,惠普,诺基亚,索尼和其它品牌。

I demand that the city of Los Angeles boycott China because of this.
十连跳了,我建议,洛杉矶抵制中国

Both Foxconn and China's labor department should be held responsible for this. They have to set maximum working hour not exceed 10 hours per day or something like that.
Sounds like they are being seriously overworked in stressfull jobs. That company needs to do something or else they'll get a full on riot going and the buildings will probably get burned down.
听说这些员工在高压力下超负荷工作,富士康需要拿出实际行动来解决这个问题,否则他们公司将会步履维艰。

Google it and you will see where 95% of our goods come from. China does it the best!
It is slavery in a 21st century form. Sterilized so the world does not have to see the ugly under belly of how stuff gets made.
No wonder the poor man jumped. Im sure he was at his wits end.
搜索后你会发现,你会看到我们的産品95%来自中国,中国制造确实是最好的!
这是21世纪的奴隶制度。繁华世界的表面往往掩盖了它本身的丑恶。
难怪这个可怜的人跳下。我敢肯定,他已经束手无策了。

To EPA :
You don't know what you're talking. You don't deserve using and purchasing quality chinese goods.(I tried not purchasing chinese goods). Unfortunately, the major u.s. retail chains favors chinese goods. Some of our infrastructure are made of chinese material. Some of our public facilities are made of chinese material.
10 out of 400,000 workers is not high at all. A responsible media should compare the suicide rate with normal suicide rate.
Apple products...Apple's problem...greed only get's you in trouble......
Apple的産品和Apple的问题是,贪婪导致自食恶果

Who cares. The companies who shipped their manufacturing jobs to China still make a profit, so they don't care. Their Chinese partners are making a profit, so they don't care. There are billions of Chinese needing work。There are plenty more where they came from.
It's a massive Chinese sweatshop operation that has business ties with big western corporations like Dell, Apple, Nokia and the like. How do you think they could lower the prices of your gadgets ? Near slave labor,
China never had this problem until they built skyscrapers.
在中国进入现代化之前,他们从来没爆发过这种问题

In the US the suicide rate is 11.1 per 100,000 people per year. So statistically a group of 300,000 people, even in "normal conditions" should see about 30 suicides each year.
美国每年10万人中有11.1人自杀。所以即使在「正常状态」下,30万人中每年也应该有30人自杀。
what's the human right?Who bestow the security personnel or somebody the right to beat the workers?Who will investigate the suicides carefully and fairly?
什么是人权,谁赋予了保安人员或某人有权殴打工人?谁将对自杀事件进行工作而细致的调查?

If the employees are not mistreated (long hours but low pay), how do you expect to get cheaper iphones and electronic gadgets. Who actually really cares for human rignts or ethical or even legal issues in China.
