Foxconn has 12 factories in nine Chinese cities—more than in any other country.

The largest Foxconn factory is located in
Longhua Town, Shenzhen, where hundreds of thousands of workers (varying counts include 230,000,
[28] 300,000,
[30] and 450,000
[31]) are employed at the
Longhua Science & Technology Park, a walled campus
[10] sometimes referred to as “Foxconn City”.
[32] Covering about 1.16 square miles (3 square km),
[33] it includes 15 factories,
[32] worker dormitories, 4 swimming pools,
[34] a fire brigade,
[10] its own television network (Foxconn TV),
[10] and a city centre with a grocery store, bank, restaurants, bookstore, and hospital.
[10] While some workers live in surrounding towns and villages, others live and work inside the complex;
[35] a quarter of the employees live in the dormitories, and many of them work up to 12 hours a day for 6 days each week.

Another Foxconn factory "city" is located at Zhengzhou Technology Park in
Zhengzhou,
Henan province, where a reported 120,000 workers are employed as of 2012.
[36]
Foxconn's future expansion include sites at
Wuhan in
Hubei province, Haizhow, Kunshan in Jiangsu province, Tianjin, Beijing, and Guangzhou in Guangdong province, China.

On May 25, 2016, the
BBC reported that Foxconn fired 60,000 employees because it had
automated "many of the manufacturing tasks associated with their operations". Foxconn confirmed those claims.
