Science and Technology Park (深圳富士康龙华园区) is a technology park in Longhua Town, Shenzhen, in the south of China, that is Foxconn's largest factory site worldwide. It gained notoriety in 2010 after a spate of suicide attempts, many of them successful, by employees at the Foxconn facilities in the area, totaling 15 attempts that year, 10-13 of which were fatal.[1]
The park produces the bulk of Apple's iPhone line.[2] Hundreds of thousands of workers (varying counts include 230,000,[2] 300,000,[1] and 450,000[3]) are employed at the site, a walled campus[4] sometimes referred to as “Foxconn City”.[5] Covering about 3 km2 (1.2 sq mi),[6] it includes 15 factories,[5] worker dormitories, 4 swimming pools,[7] a fire brigade,[4] its own television network (Foxconn TV),[4] and a city centre with a grocery store, bank, restaurants, bookstore, and hospital.[4] While some workers live in surrounding towns and villages, others live and work inside the complex;[8] a quarter of the employees live in the dormitories, and many of them work up to 12 hours a day for 6 days each week.[2]
