I had not heard of the company Foxconn until it started to hit the press over the last few weeks, after a host of employee suicides.
Reading the articles is a fascinating journey into China as you learn about this mammoth company that employs 800,000+ employees. The Foxconn walled city within Shenzhen (which is known as outsource city) is unbelievable, housing more than 270,000 employees with all of the city within a city services (fire, ambulance, hospital, shopping, transit).
Living in a city built by my employer is definitely a foreign concept and the scale is mindboggling. Via.
