Big Boss Interview

Protests break out at giant iPhone factory in China


Listen Later

Beijing's Covid Zero strategy leads to weeks of unrest in the Zhengzhou facilities of Apple's main supplier, Foxconn. We take a look at the impact this will have on the production of the latest iPhone. We also hear from a Beijing resident about growing discontent with lockdowns and mass testing.
Also in the programme, former Ukrainian finance minister Natalie Jaresko tells us about the damages to the country's energy grid caused by the latest wave of Russian strikes.
And we explore whether a quick nap break in the office could make us all more productive.
Sam Fenwick discusses these and more business news throughout the show with guests on opposite sides of the world: freelance journalist Karen Percy, in Australia, and Hayley Woodin, Executive Editor of BIV News, in Canada.
