The Week: EXCLUSIVE: Intelligence note claims Chinese hand in Tamil Nadu Foxconn labour strike
It pointed out similar patterns of unrest in other in multinational companies
Days after Apple Inc placed the Sriperumbudur facility of their supplier Foxconn under probation, an internal intelligence note exclusively accessed by THE WEEK pointed out “Chinese aid to the left leaning workforce inside Foxconn” as the reason for the labour unrest.
The report stated that “the knee-jerk reaction to the substandard canteen food causing ill health to a few staff members is an indicator of an international design to destabilise industrial establishments”. The note also says that “it is no secret that China was aggrieved over these factories, as, earlier, 48 per cent of the components for Apple iPhone were produced in China". But, "Apple has increased its stable of contracts with manufacturers in India of late as the US-China feud threatened to impose tariffs on Apple devices”, reads the intelligence note. Also the note further states that "China’s supply chain got tangled in the US-China trade war" due to India emerging as a manufacturing alternative for Apple and other multinational tech firms.
