Reporters’ Roundtable: Apple’s China problem
Apple is the most valuable U.S. company there is, and the most powerful and influential consumer electronics company by far. It is obscenely profitable. This amazing success is built on the backs of hundreds of thousands of factory workers, almost all of them in China, who assemble iPhones, and other products from other vendors, in giant, science-fiction-scale plants that never stop. These plants take their toll. On workers in China. And on jobs here in the United states. Two recent pieces of outstanding journalism highlight the issues. First, there’s a series developing in The New York Times, co-authored by Charles Duhigg, that kicked off in the Sunday edition: "How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work." A follow-on piece, "In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad," ran Wednesday. Second, a "This American Life" episode, "Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory," has reignited interest in monologuist Mike Daisey’s report of his trip to visit the birthplace of his iPhone, the Foxconn plant in China. Today we have both Charles Duhigg and Mike Daisey on the Roundtable, and we’re going to talk about Apple’s muscle, how it works with Chinese manufacturing companies, if there’s any chance that manufacturing could return to the U.S. And if it would be a good thing if it did. Apple CEO Tim Cook has responded to the emerging reports on working conditions at Apple’s device manufacturers. I discussed this response with Duhigg in a separate interview, which is at the end of this Roundtable (at the 24-minute mark, if you want to go straight there).
