TSMC's U.S. push and chaos at 'iPhone city'

The inside story on the Asia tech trends that matter, from Nikkei Asia and the Financial Times

Hello everyone, this is Cissy from Hong Kong.

After an unseasonably long summer -- the effects of climate change on the city are becoming more and more apparent -- the weather here turned chilly almost overnight a few days ago. As the year draws to a close, I'm reminded of my reporting trip to Foxconn's Zhengzhou facility four years ago on a bitterly cold winter day, when the world's largest iPhone assembler actually offered me a job as a production line worker for $1.70 per hour.
