BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) - A Chinese court has frozen the personal assets of two journalists at the China Business News after Apple iPod contract manufacturer Foxconn sued the two following a report on work conditions at its factory, the Shanghai Daily reported.
The paper said that Foxconn's subsidiary in Shenzhen petitioned the city's Intermediate People's Court in early July to freeze the property of China Business News reporter Wang You and editor Weng Bao.
The locked-up assets include apartments, a car and bank accounts, according to the report.
Foxconn has also filed a lawsuit against the journalists, seeking 20 mln yuan from Wang and 10 mln from Weng, the largest such compensation claims of their kind on the mainland, the paper said.
Foxconn is the trade name of Taiwan-based information technology manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co.
Wang in June wrote a story that claimed workers in Foxconn's Shenzhen factory worked under substandard conditions and were forced to work overtime on a regular basis.
Afterwards, international media also published similar reports, prompting Apple to send an inspection team to the site.
Apple said in a statement that it found no evidence of forced labor at the factory, but found several infractions of Apple's code of conduct.
Keep sending dollars america - your money is hard at work in CHINA!
Hard for me to imagine what these reporters expected to gain from this adventure in "yellow-journalism"...(no, well, OK, maybe some pun intended)
