|October 13, 2024
BEIJING - China's government said on Oct 11 that employees of Taiwan's Foxconn, the world's largest iPhone assembler, are being investigated for suspected taking of bribes and embezzlement, after Taiwan reported their detention.
Taiwan's government said this week that four Foxconn employees had been detained in China under "quite strange" circumstances in Zhengzhou, home to a major Foxconn plant assembling Apple's iPhones, on suspicion of the equivalent of "breach of trust".
China's Taiwan Affairs Office, in a statement to Reuters, said the Foxconn staff are suspected of crimes, including taking bribes and embezzlement, and that investigations are ongoing. It did not state how many were being investigated.
