An investigative report on labor conditions of the ICT industry: making computers in South China

Our research team selected five mainland Chinese supplier factories of brand-name computer corporations. By reviewing website information, journalistic articles, company notices, press statements, and annual work reports, we gained a general understanding about the supply chains.
