In March 2024, Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory reportedly launched the so-called "Wave Project," a controversial job transfer program that allegedly forces employees from non-manufacturing departments to work on production lines. The practice, which has been criticized as a form of disguised layoffs amid decreased global demand for electronic products, has sparked worker protests at various Foxconn factories, including Langfang, Longhua, and Zhoukou.

In May 2024, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Foxconn to respond to the allegation. Foxconn's response can be read in full below.
