Taiwan's Hon Hai increases workforce in China
TAIPEI, March 4 (Reuters) - Taiwan electronics giant Hon Hai (2317.TW) said on Wednesday it had recently increased its number of employees in China by 5 percent despite the global downturn.
"In the short term, things are not as bad as they are made out to be," Chairman Terry Gou said at a signing ceremony between the company and IBM (IBM.N) on using green technology.
Gou did not specify when the company had increased its China workforce.
Hon Hai is a contract manufacturer that makes some of the world's most famous gadgets, including Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhone, Nokia (NOK1V.HE) cellphones and Nintendo's (7974.OS) Wii game console.
