Ignorance is a terrible thing. So, in the spirit of enlightenment, I will attempt to educate you. Apple does not engage China to build thier products, they engage "factories" named Hon-Hai (Foxconn), Quanta and others.
To call these "factories" is poor phrase, as we don't really have a word in the english language to describe these "city/factories". Consider a "factory" with 230,000 - 450,000 workers. That's a small city, with 230-450K peole, living, working and building products at a single site! We have NOTHING to compare it agsinst in the USA. A city/factory where people sign 6+ month contracts and live/sleep/eat and work around the clock, live in dorms, eat their meals at 24 hour cafererias, and wear uniforms provided by their employer. And people line up for hours to compete for these jobs.
Now, Apple is hardly the only company that Foxconn hires out to. But, Apple is the most public, the biggest fish in the barrel. Foxconn makes products for Dell Computers, IBM, Motorola, Samsung, Hewlet Packard, and pretty much every other company you can name. Funny, you never hear them listed AT ALL when something goes bad at one of these city/factories, do you? Yet, Apple is the ONLY one of the hundred of American companies that has gone on record about underage workers, about wages, about living conditions.
Can you name ONE other company that has done the same? Just one?
Major customers of Foxconn include or have included:
Acer Inc. (Taiwan)[52] Amazon.com (United States)[8] Apple Inc. (United States)[53] BlackBerry Ltd. (Canada)[54] Cisco (United States)[55] Dell (United States)[56] Google (United States)[57] Hewlett-Packard (United States)[58] Huawei (China)[59] InFocus (United States) Microsoft (United States)[60] Motorola Mobility (United States)[56] Nintendo (Japan)[61] Nokia (Finland)[53][62] Sony (Japan)[63] Toshiba (Japan)[64] Vizio (United States)[65] Xiaomi (China)[66 Source
Thanks for the lesson, Hodar; how does it change my comment in any way? In the future please keep your condescending attitude to yourself.
