Video from ABC's Nightline report inside Foxconn

ABC New's Nightline will air what they're calling an "unprecedented" look inside Foxconn's Chinese factories that manufacture several Apple products. The report will air next Next Tuesday, February 21, but a brief glimpse is available now.

A promotional piece shows ABC reporter Bill Weir entering the factory and having a look around. We also see the nearly countless people lined up outside in hopes of getting a job assembling devices. Again, he says that his visit marks the first time a reporter has been granted such access to the facility.

It's compelling to say the least, and we'll definitely be watching on Tuesday night.

Another case of hack "journalism" when they use the sensationalism of "so many of their employees jumped from the roofs of their factories that they put up suicide nets...". the reality is that only a handful of employees committed suicide (sure, all suicides are certainly tragic), but the suicide rate there was actually LOWER than the rest of China, and even LOWER THAN FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE U.S.! This is sensationalism at its worst. The reason Foxconn put up nets was not only to save lives to be sure, but to overcome the ridiculous and unwarranted PR onslaught from truly ignorant and arrogant Americans. I am an American working and living in China and can attest to the fact that these clowns have no clue what they are talking about, much less an understanding of the big picture when it comes to Chinese society.
