A 22-year-old worker said Financial Times was “Total trouble in the dorms” where He and his colleagues were taken into custody. “We jumped over the plastic fence and the metal fence to get out of the campus.”

Production of iPhones at the factory will drop by 30% in November, and Taiwan-based Foxconn, formerly Hon Hai Precision Industries, is trying to ramp up production at a factory in Shenzhen to make up for the shortfall, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said.
