China Probes Taiwan Staff at iPhone City for Alleged Bribery

Chinese authorities are investigating four Taiwanese employees at Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Apple Inc.’s main assembly partner, for suspected criminal activities including bribery, according to Beijing’s Taiwan Affairs Office.

The quartet were detained by the police in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said earlier this week. Zhengzhou is where Hon Hai, the flagship company of Foxconn Technology Group, operates the world’s largest iPhone assembly plant. Local media in Taiwan reported that the four Hon Hai employees were detained earlier this year.
