Chinese workers at Apple supplier Foxconn stage street protest over unpaid bonuses

A Foxconn spokesman neither confirmed nor denied a rally had taken place but said via WeChat that he would look into the matter.

Foxconn, an electronics contract manufacturer and a key Apple supplier, said it was looking into reports that hundreds of its temporary workers took to the streets last week demanding unpaid wages from recruitment agencies.

According to those who took part, the rally in Zhengzhou, capital of central China’s Henan province, began on Wednesday night and continued through Thursday, before being broken up by the police. Several of the protesters said online they were beaten by officers, while others said they were taken into custody.
