Suicide as Protest for the New Generation of Chinese Migrant Workers: Foxconn, Global Capital, and the State

2010-09-17 - SACOM

Abstract

A startling 13 young workers attempted or committed suicide at the two Foxconn production facilities in southern China between January and May 2010. We can interpret their acts as protest against a global labor regime that is widely practiced in China. Their defiant deaths demand that society reflect upon the costs of a state-promoted development model that sacrifices dignity for corporate profit in the name of economic growth.
