Apple doesn’t have any Chinese factories, hence these are not “Apple’s Chinese factory workers.”

Technically probably correct.

But Apple sources quite a lot (a lot) of work there.

Bigtime.

What would happen - in China - if Apple forced Foxcom to follow Nader’s suggestion?

Apple would be offering wages far out of alignment with the local economy; these highly paid employees would have surplus cash to save or spend, this glut of money will cause prices to rise locally, injuring the thousands who aren’t on the Apple/Foxcom gravy train, it will suppress interest rates, discouraging savings, and will incur the wrath of government regulators who are interested in maintaining labor stability.

Like most ignoramuses, Nader ignores everything beyond the tip of his nose.
