The extraction of Chinese workers from the factory of Yuzhan Technology, a Foxconn component unit, in southern Tamil Nadu state is the second such move in a few months. Foxconn has started flying in Taiwanese engineers to replace staff leaving, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be named as the information is private.
