Before long all those cars will have water intrusion into their axle seals, and transmissions. Seals keep dust out not water, hydrostatic pressure is too great. Too bad SUVs arent a thing there. This is why you don't drive in water deeper than 3 inches with any sedan.
That's if they're lucky and water doesn't enter the air intake. That'll bend the piston's connection rods outta shape. Basic Physical Chemistry: gases (air) compresses easily, liquid (rain water) doesn't.
You can bet zero. Why would they?
Tax reasons. Donating money is tax deductible and it's good PR. Apple covets the Chinese market enough to bend over backwards for China's interests.

I guess in your mind all companies should keep hiring soldiers worldwide to invade China over the clock. But, for what purpose? So that you personoally can be the king of China?

There was no "king" of China. China either had many kings under one emperor, or had something like today's provincial system, but under an emperor. Kings are for Kingdoms, which are usually quite small and the governing structure is usually very flat.

An emperor can be a female in limited cases as empress reign, which did happen a few times in China over the past 7500 years. Record says that they had over 3000 exclusive male consorts with different ranks.

One assemby line worker arriving in his Maserati there. A Ghibli I think.

Are we paying them too much ?
Maserati’s are garbage quality in terms of reliability. It’s one of those cars that you can drive to make yourself look really wealthy, but you can find them used in the mid $40,000 range with lower miles.

FYI, Who is we? ‘We’ are not paying them anything, they are Foxconn direct employees.
 
Good that this won't impact production. On another note electric cars and water not a good idea
