Apple and Foxconn have been accused ofpoor labour practices in the past, but the U.S. technology giant has beentrying to get a grip of such issues, releasing annual reviews of the iPhonesupply chain.

在过去，苹果和富士康一直因不良的对待劳工记录而被指责，但是这家美国科技巨头尝试过收敛一下自己的行为，苹果出台了每年对供应链实施检查的政策。

富士康在一则声明种表示：“我们的政策不允许实习生在计划任务里每周工作超过40小时，不幸的是，有部分学校还没有适应这项政策，从而导致了一些这样的案例”，其还补充道，实习生只占了工人的一小部分。

If Apple cared one iota about breakinglabor laws they would move their manufacturing bad to the States, where the laware enforced. All they really care about is how much it cost to produce,howmuch they will make, and do it as cheaply as possible, even if it means theirsupplier gets get every once in while breaking laws?

苹果哪怕有一丝毫的关心劳工法，他们都会将制造厂搬回美国，在美国法律是强制实施的。他们所关心的一切，那就是生产成本以及赚取利润，只想着尽可能的将低成本，即使这意味着他们的供应商偶尔会违反法律。

售卖智能手机是一种一本万利的生意，金矿需要奴隶。

Scotty Mac,Hong Kong, Hong Kong, about 11 hours agoYou have no idea where the profit marginsre made on many such products and it is NOT the factory owners, it is thetechnology companies who make significant profits in their own markets and thetax avoidance overseas in Ireland and Luxembourg.

（回复上条）你对这些产品的利润空间根本毫无概念，那些科技公司赚取了大部分的利润，工厂主的赚得比较少，然后经海外的爱尔兰和卢森堡来避税。

But of course they only found this outafter they'd already made enough products for the launch and the subsequentyears demand.

当然了，他们只会在制造了足够的产品用于发行、满足随后几年的需求后，才会发现这种（违反劳动法的）案例的。

通过奴隶来制造的手机，是由那些喝着星巴克的白左所倡导的。他们能随时发明新的理由，用以搪塞他们在西方不擅长的领域。
