Participants dressed up to represent Foxconn workers take part in a protest against Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn, which manufactures Apple products in mainland China, outside an Apple retail outlet in Hong Kong on May 7, 2011. Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn treats its workers like "machines" a Hong Kong based labour group said on May 3, after a survey based on interviews with the firm's workers in mainland China. At least 13 Foxconn employees died in apparent suicides in 2010, which rights activists blamed on tough working conditions in a case that highlighted the challenges faced by millions of Chinese factory workers.

Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn held a morale-boosting, costumed "employee rally" after a string of suicides at its Chinese factories turned a spotlight on working conditions.

Scuffles broke out in Taiwan's capital as protesters alleging labour abuses by IT giants including Foxconn tried to enter a venue where President Ma Ying-jeou was opening Asia's biggest technology fair. The activists shouting "Capitalists kill people" and holding placards and pictures of Foxconn chief Terry Gou fought with uniformed police as they tried to deliver a letter to Ma while he launched Computex Taipei.
