After being criticized as a "sweatshop", Foxconn claimed 30 million yuan from two reporters. After the object of the lawsuit was dramatically reduced to 1 yuan, Foxconn and the defendant went on to talk very well. Both parties jointly issued a statement, and Foxconn announced the withdrawal of the lawsuit.

Foxconn Technology Group announced yesterday that it would withdraw its lawsuit against China Business News. The two parties also issued a joint statement at 6 pm yesterday. What is quite surprising is that the two sides, which were at odds a week ago, first paid mutual respect in the joint statement. First of all, China Business News paid tribute to Foxconn. China Business News expressed its respect for "Foxconn Technology Group's contribution to China's economic development and looked forward to making more contributions to improving the competitiveness of China's industries in the future."

The second item of the joint statement is Foxconn's reciprocation, expressing respect for China Business News, an "influential" financial and business newspaper.

At the end of the statement, the two sides "apologized to each other" and wanted to "join hands" to jointly improve labor treatment. Foxconn Technology Group agreed to withdraw the lawsuit related to China Business News from the date of release of the statement. (Comprehensive Guangzhou Daily)

From the claim of 30 million yuan to 1 yuan, to yesterday's handshake and mutual "respect", Foxconn's sky-high-priced claim journalist case came to an end in the stunned eyes of the public.

However, where is the truth? Whether companies violate regulations and work overtime, whether reporters 'reports are objective and true, everything is still as vague as fog. Both sides have cleared up the hatchet, making this drama that could have been written with great color during the social transformation period suddenly become a farce that deceives the public. It is not worth mentioning.

As soon as the Foxconn case was exposed, the media rushed into action, expressing support for reporters and condemning companies. It is extremely rare for a verdict without trial. The media criticized Foxconn for "why it sued the reporter instead of the newspaper, and why it claimed 30 million yuan." However, no one asked the reporter whether he had ironclad evidence to prove the objectivity and accuracy of his report. The accused reporter did not throw out strong evidence to prove his innocence after earning enough sympathy and tears. If you have ironclad evidence in hand, no matter whether the object of the lawsuit is a reporter or a newspaper, and the amount claimed is 30 million yuan or 1 yuan, the result will be the same. That is, those who speak based on facts and confuse right and wrong will pay the price before the law. Why use public opinion to fight words first? Now that right and wrong are not clear, the two sides, which were at odds a few days ago, have actually respected each other, making the audience who do not know the truth have to suspect that the two sides hold each other's weaknesses. In fact, capital and the right to speak have no choice but to compromise for fear of "losing both sides"!

Festival from: Chengdu Business Daily. Post it here because I share the same views and questions. I am also paying attention, but where is the truth? No one paid any attention, but people who cared about this incident were severely "washed".
