Europe vs. Asia in reverse?

An article was released today about the decline in positions filled in China at Foxconn, in the Financial Times. It detailed the change of Chinese no longer filling low-paid positions in poor work conditions. I found the whole concept rather interesting, as it follows the news of Kia and Hyundai hiring more people to be able to cut night shifts. Both shifts would foreshadow a drastic change in the South East Asian image of being filled with people who will do important work (for generally oversees companies) for very little pay. This means changes for Foxxcon, how many areas can they keep moving to until they run out of “cheap labour” locations?
