In the southern region of China, a series of disturbing incidents occurred in 2010. Young workers, many of whom had migrated from rural areas, were involved in a wave of suicides at Foxconn, a major supplier to Apple. The tragic events took place at the workers' dormitories or nearby buildings, with some individuals jumping from windows.

Details of the incidents are available from El País, which provides an account of the events. The initial response to the suicides suggested that personal problems may have been a factor. Further information on the incidents and their context can be found in the original report from El País.
