This video from Tech Insider features a university student who went undercover in a Chinese factory producing Apple iPhones. He describes the working conditions and the measures that must be implemented to deter suicide. While Apple is not the direct owner of this factory, it employs their workers, which emphasizes the problem of global supply chain and whether big companies such as Apple can be ethical and can hold their supply chain accountable. After students have watched the video, conduct an instructor-led debrief using the questions provided.

a. Describe the labor conditions Deijan Zeng faced.

b. Apple outsources hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs to other countries. Why do you think that is?

c. Discuss the types of issues that can be found in a far-reaching international supply chain.
