TAIPEI — Four employees of Taiwan's Foxconn, the world’s largest iPhone assembler, have been detained in China under "quite strange" circumstances, Taiwan’s government said.
Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, in a statement to Reuters on Thursday, said the four employees had been detained in China's Zhengzhou, home to a major Foxconn plant assembling Apple's iPhones, on suspicion of the equivalent of "breach of trust."
"The circumstances of this case are quite strange," it said.
The case may be connected to corruption and abuse of power by a small number of Chinese security officials, the council added, without giving details.
Foxconn declined to comment.
