Unless someone is afraid of being randomly assaulted or imprisoned, then no one cares. It's human nature. Bread and circuses you know? I've been to China. It's not Mao's China, not at all.
Then you'll have no problem expounding upon what happened in Tiananmen Square on June 4th, 1989 without regurgitating the party line right in front of any official in their country.
Secondly, you will have no problem objecting to corruption without any regard to your position or connection or political status.
Oh wait...
Article 51. The exercise by citizens of the People's Republic of China of their freedoms and rights may not infringe upon the interests of the state, of society and of the collective, or upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens.
...that may be a problem since you would be committing offenses against the PRC. Never mind that your death would be efficient and your organs distributed as the Party would see fit.
Between Homeland Security and treating H1-B's like slave labor, who can blame them? They can go home and enjoy a better lifestyle than they have here and not get treated like a potential terrorist.
That's the employer's response to a lack of enforcement. For what is covered under: * 20 CFR 655 (Temporary Employment of Aliens In the United States) * 20 CFR 656 (Labor Certification Process for Permanent Employment of Aliens In the United States)
Citizens get screwed by loopholes, foreign workers get screwed by employer threats, both suffer from the lack of resources to enforce those regulations. Don't be surprised if the party that isn't threatened w/ deportation (US Citizens) complains to high heavens and tries to outright kill the practice.
That was recognized by 2000, well before offshoring took off with more skilled work in 2003.
They'll only gloss over their reputation for business practices that have been long-abandoned by other countries.
That is, the slave labor that happens there; the reaction being to threaten the person who exposed it, not the company (Foxconn) who did it. Naturally, some free-trader w/ mod points is going to bomb this back to oblivion.
Employment practices
In June 2006, allegations of Foxconn operating abusive employment practices came to light as reported by Mail that were later denied by Foxconn. Apple launched an investigation into such claims. The result was that the claims of mistreatment of employees were judged by the Apple inspection team to be largely unfounded, but the inspection team also discovered that at peak production times some of the employees were working more hours than Apple's acceptable "Code of Conduct" limit of 60 hours, and 25% of the time workers did not get at least one day off each week. These same workers complained there was not enough overtime in off peak periods. The auditing team also found that workers had been punished by being made to stand to attention for long periods, and that all junior employees are subjected to military-style drill.
Foxconn admitted it makes workers do an extra 80 hours overtime per month while the local labor law only permits 36 hours Foxconn sued Wang You and Weng Bao of China Business News, the journalists responsible for revealing these practices, for $3.77 million and filed a successful court ruling to have the journalists' assets frozen. Some disagree with the demands and the court ruling. Reporters Without Borders sent a letter to Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs to implore Foxconn to drop the case. Later Foxconn reduced the demand to a symbolic 1 yuan (12 U.S. cents), withdrew the request to freeze the journalists' personal assets, and initiated legal proceedings to sue their employer.
Employee death over internal investigation
On July 16, 2009, employee Sun Danyong allegedly committed suicide in Shenzhen, China by jumping off the 12th floor of his apartment building. Initial reports from China indicates that Sun was under a lot of pressure because of investigations by Foxconn's Environmental, Safety and Loss Prevention Division regarding a missing prototype for a fourth generation iPhone. He was tasked with shipping 16 iPhone prototype units. However, one of the units went missing during the process.
Upon filing his report on July 13, Chinese state-run Southern Metropolis Daily reported that his residence was searched by Foxconn employees, and that he was beaten and interrogated by his superiors. Sina Online News and ND Daily Newspaper both reported Foxconn's security division may have used illegal approaches including illegal search of personal residence without warrant, unlawful confinement and possible physical force during the investigation. The controversial incident placed questions regarding Apple's secrecy over upcoming releases of its products, where misplacing prototypes serves as a serious breach of protocol.
Foxconn has released an official statement apologizing to the family on this incident. The statement also indicated that the manager in question has been suspended and an official police investigation has begun. Regarding the incident, an Apple spokesman told reporters that the company was "saddened by the tragic loss of this young employee."
The government is now launching a voluntary donation scheme, which it hopes will also curb the illegal trafficking in organs.
In other words, nothing has changed.

Except that their performance record isn't littered with as many disasters as offshored/outsourced work.
Yup, look at what happened to American Auto manufacturers in the 70's and 80's - near complete monopoly, 3 big players, quality went to shit and their finally made inroads with quality products. Dunno how well this applies though, since new cars are ~$20,000 and new consoles are ~$150-300
The problem is that those non-US countries had years to improve quality but remain at the level of shoddy junk/knockoff.
If you mean that by people banging away at the engine to find the "unfixable" engine bugs and 80% Chinese goldfarmers, yes.
If you mean that they'll create another region for a market test(that ends up being the most anti-bot region outside Korea), and dump it a couple of years later, yes.
If you mean that the only way to get a truly permanent ban is to royally piss off NCKR, yes.
Much like ours are unlicensed, except ours rely on distance or far-off national borders. It's hard to beat people into submission if people aren't looking away.

For this and a few other things caused them to dump them at a discount on the order of $3000 to employees. Not exactly generous in today's terms, but very generous compared to what Nuti's NCR would do.
