Foxconn's labor shortage problem in Wisconsin would never happen in China. Because here's how it works. When Foxconn moved to Henan in 2010, local govt districts were assigned quotas of workers to deliver to Foxconn, and failure wasn't an option nanyang.gov.cn/gk/faguiwenjia…
Henan's education department issued an "urgent notice" requiring vocational students to do internship stints on Foxconn assembly lines translate.google.com/translate?sl=z…
Local officials who could not produce enough workers for Foxconn were publicly criticized translate.google.com/translate?sl=z…
Local state-owned coal companies loaned their employees to Foxconn

By 2011, a year after the factory groundbreaking, Foxconn had 100,000 workers in its Henan Zhengzhou factory. The majority of the world's iPhones are still made there.
America can't do this, but we also wouldn't want to
Here was our WSJ story on how China's Henan province built a factory town overnight to manufacture the iPhone wsj.com/articles/how-t…

Some details come out of the trial in Dalian. The court kept his first judgment offline, though it doesn’t fall under state secrets, and notetaking not allowed in the courtroom. So details based on memory wsj.com/articles/china…
Robert Schellenberg said he was a former oil industry worker, born May 26, 1982. He appeared in court in handcuffs, black sweatshirt, glasses, close-cropped hair, carrying a sheaf of papers. Not visibly frail after 4 yrs detention
Case revolves around 222kg of crystal meth found hidden among bags of plastic granules in a Dalian port warehouse late 2014. Plan was to smuggle it to Australia hidden inside tires.

What we found out about the Xinjiang camps. Thread wsj.com/articles/china…
It’s still hard to know how conditions are in many of the camps, and if they contributed to deaths. Five people told us a close relative died in a camp or soon after release, with ages of the deceased ranging from 24 to 72. More reported that friends or acquaintances died
My colleague @JNBPage spoke to former camp inmates in Kazakhstan who reported harsh treatment such as getting tied to a chair for hours, and some people getting beaten, amid the hours of daily patriotic training. It’s still hard to say how many of the camps have such conditions

Thread. #Wisconsin story. @jessieopie live-tweeted Gov. Walker’s announcement that he would sign all the legislation in the #WisconsinPowerGrab, & reaction from Governor-elect @Tony4WI. A couple of thoughts...
2. First, I don’t know how anyone who had lived in Wisconsin watching its politics over the last decade could have been surprised Walker approved what the legislature sent him. It is probable he was consulted extensively long before the legislature acted.
3. Scott Walker & Republican legislators in Wisconsin are served by the same campaign infrastructure, and serve the same large donors. They can disagree about some things, but must always be assumed to be of one mind on anything related to funding campaigns & winning elections.

Outtakes from the #DNC Executive Meeting in #PuertoRico (thread)

Chair promises a 2020 process that is fair. Will release a protocol on debates soon; expect debates in summer 2019 . Will decide by March 2019 the Host City for 2020 Convention: Houston, Miami Beach, or Milwaukee.
We have worked hard to rebuild trust on our presidential process. Rules and Bylaws Cttee working with early states on rules. A key rule change ends superdelegates voting 1st round absent consensus candidate BUT elected officials can still be PLEOs & not run against constituents.
The PLEO Party Leader Elected Official designation is for pledged delegates who are Members of Congress Governors etc who want a first round #DNC convention vote but don’t want to run against activist to get there.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

By: @Anis_Shivani for @AlterNet

Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

2/
I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.
