SHANGHAI: Zhang Mingxin, 25, recently found a new job as a product quality inspector at Foxconn Technology Group’s plant in Zhengzhou, capital of Central China’s Henan province, where about 50% of the world’s iPhones are made.

About two years ago, Zhang took a part-time job for more than one month during his summer vacation on Foxconn’s Zhengzhou assembly line.
