The FoxConn-hunt-Chinese-Journalists case update

quick notes:

one interesting question is why foxconn went to such a bad PR manuever? is it due to OEM's lack PR widsom, ignorance of the chinese media, or just pure arrogance of the big boss of foxconn, whose nickname in taiwan is "Genghis Khan"？

the feature on sohu include blog posts and articles more diversified and rational than theose on sina, both of which are popular news portal in china. meanwhile, many current and ex-staff of FoxConn established their blogs at sohu.

total visits to the journalist blog at sina has reached 1 million within one day.
