Rise of the robots: 60,000 workers culled from just one factory as China’s struggling electronics hub turns to artificial intelligence


The manufacturing hub for the electronics industry, Kunshan, in Jiangsu province, is seeking a drastic reduction in labour costs as it undergoes a makeover after an industrial explosion killed 146 people in 2014.

The county, one-seventh the size of neighbouring Shanghai and the mainland’s first county to achieve US$4,000 per capita income, was adjudged the best county for its economic performance by Forbes for seven years in a row.

However, the blaze, blamed on poor safety standards and haphazard industrialisation, dented Kunshan’s pride.

More than a year on, the county, which attracts much of its investment from Taiwan, is trying to reinvent its growth strategy. It is accelerating growth by replacing humans with robots and encouraging start-ups.

The next "advancement" will be to just cull half the people as they won't be needed anymore.

This is very disturbing, that's 60,000 people now thrown on the scrapheap.

Indeed.......the global elites see us as nothing but a resource with an ever declining "upside" and if people really believe that they are going to allow us to sit on our asses and squirt out "useless eaters" (as they have referred to us in the past) you are simply fooling yourself. There is a depopulation agenda at work and they have been amping it up.
 
The REAL issue is that these people may have only been MARGINALLY better off working for FoxConn as their attempted suicide is alarming.
Also, now that this factory will prove that it's owners no longer have to worry about hourly wages, holidays, health benefits and other human related perks, perhaps factories can now come back to America.

They might kill fewer of their employees now...

Yep...So much for target practice.
 
Yet they have yet to developed a robot to shovel shit in a horse stall..Where it is really needed...


They are way ahead of you,runt


Those are cows, did you ever cure your manure breath...

It's a win-win for them, they also save a ton of money, being the greedy POS that they are as they don't have to even pay a wage to robots.

The thing is, they think this Agenda will run smoothly, but NO Agenda has EVER gone according to plan, something always goes wrong....they're not half as clever as they think they are.

I wonder how many capitalistic hating progressives will stop buying Apple products at this news?

Really, all workers can't be swapped for robots, because then there would be no consumers, because even fewer people would have money. This really isn't a scary thing.
