Foxconn - The Wal-Mart of China?

After the recent suicides and environmental concerns Foxconn has let a journalist in to see the facility. Part four is published tomorrow. It's an interesting piece and makes you think about where your favorite device came from. Imagine a single facility filled with 400,000 workers. Worldwide Foxconn employs 920,000+ people (Wal-Mart employs 2,100,000+ in comparison). Whether the company is good or bad is up to debate but it's certainly done well as an assembler for Apple.
