TAIPEI — Four employees of Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn in China have been detained, Taipei said Friday, describing the circumstances as 'quite strange.'The employees were detained by public security in the central city of Zhengzhou for the equivalent of 'breach of trust' under Taiwan law, Taipei's top China policy body, the Mainland Affairs Council, said in a statement to AFP.'The circumstances surrounding this case are quite strange,' the council said.
Most of its factories are in China, including Zhengzhou, which is dubbed 'iPhone City' as the home of the world's biggest factory for the smartphone.Taipei's Mainland Affairs Council did not provide details about when the workers were taken into custody, their positions in Foxconn, or their nationalities.The case 'may involve corruption and abuse of power by a small number of public security officials, which has severely damaged business confidence,' it said.
