It is very sad. But it is not an alarming trend. Foxconn has 4,00,000 employees in that location. The suicide rate is actually less than in the rest of China. Suicides are always a sad thing but there is no need to single out Foxconn like this. The blogs just seemed to have picked this up to get some page views.
