China zero-Covid: Foxconn workers in protests at Zhengzhou factory, videos show

Workers at China’s largest iPhone assembly factory were seen confronting police, some in riot gear, according to videos shared over social media. The videos show hundreds of workers facing off with law enforcement officers, many in white hazmat suits, on the Foxconn campus in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou. In the footage, now blocked, some of the protesters could be heard complaining about their pay and sanitary conditions. The scenes come days after Chinese state media reported that more than 100,000 people had signed up to fill positions advertised as part of a massive recruitment drive held for Foxconn’s Zhengzhou plant. A Covid-19 outbreak last month had forced the site to lock down, leading some anxious factory workers to reportedly flee. CNN's Kristie Lu Stout reports.
