Answer by We never left!
Yes. The incidents have been blown out of proportion due to Foxconn's association with Taiwan. The Mainland Chinese media wishes to vilify the Taiwanese in order to justify their own government's efforts to "save our lost and suffering Taiwan-based Chinese from further influences of the Western world."
Must be that those missiles they have pointed at Taiwan are so good that they only target "Western influences" (e.g. the military and any key industries) and perhaps any pockets of "subversive" aboriginal culture, while not intended to pose any threat to their "Chinese brothers" here in Taiwan. Wow... I didn't know China had such highly advanced and discretionary technology! I smell Nazism in their underlying desire for racial purity and supremacy. Don't you?
Isn't it a bit odd that when there is finger pointing to be done by the Chinese media, Mr. Guo is "from Taiwan"... but, when it suits their purposes, the same media declares that Taiwan is part of China? Wouldn't that mean that they should have referred to Mr. Guo as simply being Chinese instead? Based on this disrespectful and disproportionately unfair treatment by the PRC, Mr. Guo should simply pull up the stakes of his company, and move his business to Vietnam or India or some other equally profitable place that would receive him well and treat him much better.
Here's a good report about the media blowing this out of proportion:

From the point of view of a foreigner who has been living in China for 10 years, I think I have to say something.
Don't relate everything to Taiwan issue. Yes, Taiwan issue is a big headache to China government. But Foxconn suicides are horrible facts. If you know what really happens in Foxconn, a so-called Forture 500 company, you will never see it in political aspect. This is all about humanity. Foxconn means low pay and endless overtime to many workers. And the harsh rules and regulations of the company deprive many human rights. Another example you may not know is that Huawei suicides a few years ago. It was a hot topic at that time, too. And Huawei is not a Taiwan company, but a mainland company. So the media exposure does not have to relate to political intent.
Another thing I have to mention is that nearly all Taiwan companies do not have a good reputation in China mainland. They do not offer reasonable pay to workers and positions of senior executives are only available for Taiwanese.
Think more about humanity, not politics.

oh yes, that's why ccp loves contradictions. ccp believes in such fairy tales that taiwan will return to china, pardon me, i mean china will take taiwan...by use of force, and that they will both live happily ever after. then again, when something bad happens to local people in china, they immediately spring to life and have better pointed fingers to write their bias news under the ccp watch of course.
Don't relate everything to Taiwan issue. Yes, china's child labor, child stabbings, lead poisoning, melamine milk, prostitution, drugs, and piracy issue are a big headache to China government yet they don't do anything about it. But suicides are horrible facts. If you know what really happens in a local china company making fake shoes or fake iphones, may not be a so-called Fortune 500 company, you will never see it in political aspect. This is all about humanity. fake shoe and fake iphone company means low pay and endless overtime to many workers. and the harsh rules and regulations of the company deprive many human rights. Another example you may not know is that Huawei suicides a few years ago. It was a hot topic at that time, too. And Huawei is not a Taiwan company, but a mainland company. So the media exposure does not have to relate to political intent. and consider that news and media in mainland are monitored under ccp (pro and loyalist), so there is no fair coverage.
Another thing I have to mention is that nearly all mainland companies do not have a good reputation in their own country. they do not offer reasonable pay to workers and positions of senior executives are only available for family members.

Hi,I did the following:
The Creative Process and Mental Health
Two of America's most beloved writers led a discussion on a difficult issue confronting millions: depression and mental health. William Styron, author of Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness, and Art Buchwald, author of We'll Laugh Again, have both battled depression and shared their personal stories as well as explored ways the media can help overcome the taboos of mental illness. This is the inaugural event of the Mental Health Media Partnership, a new project of the Annenberg Schools at USC and Pennsylvania and the National Mental Health Campaign.
