I did get that and it doesn’t affect my opinion. They are less likely to use slave labor in the US than in China, but their executives also lie more in the US than they do at home (because the consequences are a lot more serious in China). Agreements and contracts mean nothing to them. Among other problems, that means their quality control is entirely dependent on whoever hires them watching everything they do all the time.
Let us not forget when Foxconn came to Wisconsin and convinced a city council to claim eminent domain and demolish an entire neighborhood in a secret vote in order to build a Foxconn plant. They promised thousands of well paying jobs but then when they opened the plant, only hired a tiny fraction of the total and barely utilized the plant at all.
