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.
