Chinese police have taken into custody four Taiwanese employees at Hon Hai Precision Industry, Apple’s main assembly partner, the latest in a spate of detentions that have rattled investor confidence in the country.
Police in the central mainland Chinese city of Zhengzhou detained the quartet on charges of breach of trust, according to a statement from Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council on Wednesday. Zhengzhou is where Hon Hai, the flagship company of Foxconn Technology Group, operates the world’s largest iPhone assembly plant.
