Foxconn Sees New Source of Cheap Labor: The United States
hackingbear writes "Foxconn is planning to build manufacturing plants in the U.S., probably in cites such as Detroit and Los Angeles. 'Since the manufacturing of Apple's products is rather complicated, the market watchers expect the rumored plants to focus on LCD TV production, which can be highly automated and easier.' Foxconn chairman Terry Guo, at a recent public event, noted that the company is planning a training program for US-based engineers, bringing them to Taiwan or China to learn the processes of product design and manufacturing."
Ha ha hahahahahahaha... Sorry not laughing with you. Oh and your ignorance is showing, might want to put that away before you scare someone.
A fool throws a stone into a well and a thousand sages can not remove it.
I was really confused until I realized there has been a mistranslation. Replace the word 'design' with the word 'copying', and then the summary makes much more sense.
But...but...you have Robocop!
People don't wait around to be promoted - instead, they hop from job to job, earning small title and salary increases each time.
Man, where have I seen that before?
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
Wait, so the problem is that the Chinese workers treat their companies the way US companies treat their employees?

"Fucking Americans, stealing ours jobs everyday. My buddy was forced to train his American replacement. It's only a matter of time before my job is shipped overseas as well." -Random Chinese guy
Let's put our egos aside and learn what we can from the Chinese.
Like maintaining our Social "safety net"?
I think he meant specifically learning from Foxconn's experience. Like maintaining "safety nets" in the alleys around the factories.

Screw that. Coffee and a doughnut or I'm staying in bed.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
You clearly have much to learn, and Foxconn is willing to teach you.
Help I am stuck in a signature factory!
Don't treat your employees like shit and they won't want to/need to form a union.
