Incoherent anti-Apple rant using articles from the past decade that do not state what the mistranslations claim to say, pulling every anti-Apple theme including "removing headphone jacks" and citing already proved false claims as facts. The article even misunderstand Apple’s draconian retaliation contract clause against contractors who fail to meet labor standard requirements, such as Apple’s recent cancellation of major assembly contracts with long-time contractor Pegatron for blatant part-time worker abuse. This article attacking Apple is pure, unadulterated FUD, taking much of its content from debunked Apple China Watch junk. I won’t even bother to AGAIN repost the list of the top 72 consumer electronics brands from among over 750 that are assembled and manufactured by FoxConn, Pegatron, and the other named contract companies in the article of which Apple is the only one which holds these contractors to a higher labor standard and actually monitors if those standards are being met by putting its own paid watchers in each plant to assure compliance and then, such as in the case of Pegatron, is willing to pull multi-billion dollar contracts to enforce those requirements. Actions count more than fake words. —PING!

APPLE FUD PING!

I believe the timing is now because they are beginning to scale back production and tooling up for next years model.

The Chinese are on everyone’s shit list and Apple is no different from any of those other exploiting companies. You can’t get that rich without slave labor, Period.

You don’t have a clue what the Chinese are all about.

It should really bother you that it’s Chinese Labor laws being broken. It really takes some doing to break any Chinese labor laws.
