a brutal police response to the internet. the latest round of protests at the industrial complex, which produces the majority of the words i forms began over a pay dispute among the newly recruited workers who had been promised generous bonuses. but workers said the contracts were changed so they could not get the bonuses. adding that they were quarantined without food. on thursday, fox con released the statement saying the bonus payments had been delayed due to a technical error. last month tries and code 19 cases, so defact to relock, dump workers were sealed into their dormitories without medical care and without food. some of the $200000.00 workers, scaled frances and gates to break out and go home. frazier, how he joins us now. he is an analyst focused on the chinese economy. frasier, welcome back. you've studied china's economy for a long time. was this sort of extreme situation inevitable? i, well, i think it was because ultimately cobra and zito is unsustainable. and this has
5:47 pm
basically been the biggest problem for the past couple of years, really for china, the as coverage of boots through the planet. and china keeps itself isolated in its population is would be what we called cov, naive. that at some point, you're going to have these major destructions. as ultimately china, from a cobit standpoint of rejoins the world voluntarily are involuntary. what do you think has to change fundamentally for conditions for these workers to improve? sure. ok, so specifically on the fox con issue, the problem is that you have these conflicting types of problems all coming together. you have a population, you're still very concerned about it. you have an economy that is trying to keep going. and you've also got basically mismanagement off payments and workers' rights . so you have a whole host of influences coming together here to make that particular fox con

issue a real problem. this is partly because as well, the local officials aren't really sure what to do because they are contradictory problems as well. they have to provide growth. they have to keep on top of cove and they also have to keep the population safe and happy as well. and these are all basically coming together and you see the scenes that was seen over the last couple of weeks. ok, so this is about local officials also being overwhelmed with the demands on them. but i'm also wondering about apples responsibility here. so apple claims that it audits working conditions at suppliers, factories and like fox con, how do you explain it? he's working conditions then ultimately the audits are, from our standpoint, if you look from the developed countries perspective or the american perspective, the, the audits are pretty lightweight. there have been lots of complaints over the years of working conditions in china. and while apples are folks gone, conditions may be better than that man,

and other countries. and indeed, chinese factories themselves are actually moving to other countries like india, vietnam, to basically take it to take advantage of lower wage costs in china. but this is all just part of maturation process in china as well. the longer the cheapest source of labor in the world. so you're going to see companies moving to china. the coven situation over the past years in china, coupled with the top for geo politics, is meaning that you are sorry to be called play. it's not a complete isolated, or just disengagement, but you are understanding that there are much greater china risks. and then there are 10 years ago and companies are responding to that. i changed a china facia. how are you there? thank you very much for your time today. thanks very much. now to some of the other global business stories and making use. tesla is the latest car car maker to wish
