Abstract
When Foxconn sweatshop incident was exposed, China's society briefly paid attention to the living conditions of Chinese laborers. But when the wave of public opinion passed, no one paid attention to the exploitation of workers in foreign-owned factories, but the inadequate protection of workers in the field of labor law in China still exists. The purpose of this paper is to explore the current shortcomings of China's labor law in the field of foreign-funded factories, as well as the deficiencies in the supervision measures of foreign-funded factories, as to solve the plight of Chinese workers who are suffering from oppression. After studying the labor laws and regulations of China by consulting the labor cases of foreign-funded enterprises, the labor background of China, and combining with the current social situation, this paper finds that there are certain defects in China's labor law and certain system loopholes in the supervision of foreign-funded factories and puts forward relevant suggestions.
