[quote] Foxconn is not hiring new staff at a Shenzhen plant that makes gadgets, including the smartphone, but it has denied a report in the Financial Times that the move is a reaction to any single client.
In response to the FT’s claim, Foxconn said: “Due to an unprecedented rate of return of employees following the Chinese New Year holiday compared to years past, our company has decided to temporarily slow down our recruitment process.
“This action is not related to any single customer and any speculation to the contrary is false and inaccurate.”[/quote]
