they gave his girlfriend a macbook so they made up for it.

Now where did I put that grain of salt....

So apple stuff is made by foxcon.... dosent apple claims that parts are made by them also "parts and software are both made by apple, so they work together" hmmmm.... so OS is only different think in their computers, they just charging a sh!tload for those crappy parts ???

morel like a bucket of salt

They gave Danyong's girlfriend an Apple MacBook, so I don't see what the problem is. MY GOD! Somebody at foxconn had to come up with a plan to compensate the girlfriend, and the best thing they could come up with was a cheap macbook. Isn't that insulting? Imagine you died as a result of mental stress from work, and your company gave your significant other a laptop. Oh, this World.... For all that it's worth, I hope this gentleman has found peace, and that his family and loved ones can remain strong and get through this.

And why are we supposed to think Microsoft is evil and Apple good? Yes, I know this is Foxconn, but by Apple using them - it's condoning this type of thug-like behavior.

MacBook to compensate for his life? That's great.

Given China's huge market for knock-off products, doesn't it seem a little curious that we now know this guy had an actual history of "losing" products before as well?

My theory is he was leaking Foxconn manufactured products to those to make the fakes, and when he did so with one of Apple's prototypes he was finally "suicided" off his balcony due to his actions.

And now the press is being warned not to talk to his family? Perhaps they view the situation differently? The official version of this story is fishy.

Also, isn't there speculation that Foxconn employees murdered Danyong by throwing him off his balcony? That's what I feel happened. I don't think he committed suicide. He just happened to jump off his balcony after they kicked down his door and ripped his apartment apart, right.

The Mafia-style control and management is common around Chinese societies. Part of the reasons for that is due to lack of transparency in legal system of PRC. PRC is also run by commies Mafia-style. If you are an "useful" individual, then you'd likely be contacted by some Mafia-like entities who offers you a deal that you can't refuse.

One Chinese philosopher wrote that the Tao of survival is to be useless, and he wrote that down 2500 years ago.

This is wack... What the hell??? F you foxcon I know you are criminals.. If the guy would just leave new stuff around why did you guys let him hold on to it.... STUPID on your part... I would say they pulled some gangster actions on this man.. You suck balls and I will never buy your products... A HUGE FU TO YOU....

Jesus... cant beleive Foxconn thinks that something materialistic (and cheap) is enough to make up for the loss of that (probably) cute girls Boy friend.

I would be interested in seeing the Chinese government hanging a few corrupt Foxconn execs, if it is found that their employees murdered Danyong.

Sun Danyong's girlfriend was in the market for a computer that was worth as much as a human life. We told her - you find it, you keep it.

Not only do they make cruddy motherboards (i wish I didn't get the Renaissance), they're not too keen on employee relations. I hadn't planned on buying their gear after my MB/poor bios experience w/ them, but now I think I can be pretty sure I'm not getting their hardware again.

I didn't make myself clear in the last post. I know someone who works in Foxconn, and their internal management is harsh and brutal, just like every other Taiwanese OEMs. However, they don't go out and punish people for no reason. There are many trade secrets which they need to protect, and others want to steal. Although it looks like Foxconn is the one to be blamed, and reality might be even more sinister than it looks. A lot "fake" or "bandit" products in China were made by no other than front companies of PLA.

Well...A Chinese in china is actually one out of 1.3 Billion Chinese...
Nobody ever cares your life in China, that's the truth
I've seen TRUE picture which some small village in china actually KILLS and EATS
young women, and is consider a NORMAL tradition in that particular village and they even allow pictures taken when the girl is slaughtered, they slaughter the girl like slaughtering a chicken, and the MAIN reason they started to slaughter young girls and women to eat IS they're bored with pork, beef, chicken or whatever..and nothing SEEMS to be done over there...

PM me for the pictures if you want

People need to think before they post! Foxconn makes TONS of equipment for many different companies. Including Microsoft!!

" “Several times he had some products missing, then he got them back,” Said James Lee, General Manager of Foxconn's China operations.“We don’t know who took the product, but it was at his stop.”


Foxconn also denied beating Danyong, and claimed that the interrogation officer merely put his hand on Danyong's shoulders after becoming angry with the late employee."



1.. ok the guy has shit go missign all the time , well simpel you FIRE his ass , you dont drag him into interrogation and treat him like a criminal , he is obviously NOt stealing the products sicne this ahs ocurred more than once and he returned/found things in the past.

2. i don't give a flying fuck who you are or think you are , unless you are a wearing a CITY/STATE/FEDERAL appointed badge (aka a cop or federal agent), YOU DONT PUT YOUR HANDS ON AN INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN IN ANY THREATENING MANNER, PERIOD. if i was this guy THINGS WOULD have goten MAJORLY FUCKING VIOLENT when that ass hole touched my person as if he was some kind of cop. wehn all he was as some hopped up asshole coperate office who has NO real authorative power.


3. if i was his girl freind i would have sent that macbook back to them witha note telling them to shove it up thier ass ,a laptop computer is not any kind of compensation for a human life.

fucking corperate scum , i hope this company goes under big time

44,000 USD and a macbook for a human life...no wonder their name is FUCKSCONN!

I for one will not buy any more FoxConn products

BOYCOTT APPLE AND FOXCONN!

"Foxconn apparently has paid out roughly $44,000 USD to Danyong's family, and gave Danyong's girlfriend an Apple MacBook. Shockingly, while visiting Foxconn, a journalist was threatened to be beaten up by two men wearing Foxconn shirts and a guard if he continued to ask Danyong's family questions."

I should be outraged but for some reason I find this insanely humorous.

demonhorde665:

Foxconn makes parts for everything. Even my ASUS motherboard. Just look inside, something is bound to be Foxconn-branded.

And for this story, no one knows what really went on. No one knows all the facts. There are still a lot of questions to be answered.
