Morning I told you that at the Foxconn factory in Taiyuan 2000 people started a riotbecause of an incident that took place with the security forces there. From this morning until now, the police have not managed to control the crowd gathered at the factory and 10 people they would have been injured in events according to Foxconn, or he would have died, if we are to go by other Chinese publications. Regardless of what the truth is behind these violent incidents, it is clear that Foxconn will close the factory to protect the safety of the remaining employees.
A spokesperson for Hon Hai's Foxconn Technology Group arm said the situation was "under control," but added that the plant would be shut down for Monday. "Our decision is to take a day off for that particular plant today," said the spokesman, Louis Woo. An investigation into the cause of the riots, which left 10 injured, is being carried out, according to a report from China's state-run Xinhua news agency. A local Public Security Bureau officer confirmed that there were "problems" at the plant overnight and that the police were dealing with the situation.
The main explanation behind this incident is related to the fact that an employee of the security team allegedly hit a Foxconn employee, and then he was assaulted by other employees of the company and from here everything degenerated into the riot you see in the images. 100 people were arrested, many had their phones confiscated from which all the evidence of the riot was deleted and this is how Foxconn is trying to disguise everything. 79.000 people work in that factory, they also produce iPhone 5 covers, and this problem will probably have an impact on Apple.
Our sources indicated that one of the security guards hit a Foxconn worker and this made even more of the workers angry and they started to beat up the security guard and others who tried to stop the fighting. Eventually as the Foxconn hired security was overwhelmed rather quickly, they called for backup. They have said it is a dispute between "workers" that started between 10-11pm on September 23rd. However, it quickly escalated from there.
