SEOUL: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said it will do 30% less business with a parts supplier after uncovering employment of child workers at the China-based firm, marking the IT giant's strongest objection to the illegal practice to date. 

In July, Samsung Electronics suspended business with Dongguan Shinyang Electronics Co Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kosdaq-listed Shinyang Engineering Co Ltd, after US-based China Labor Watch said it found at least five child workers without contracts at the Guangdong province-based supplier.
