Videos show workers marching, with some being confronted by people in hazmat suits and riot police.

Protests have erupted at the world's biggest iPhone factory in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, according to footage circulated widely online.

Last month a surge in Covid cases saw the company lock down the campus, prompting some workers to break out.Footage shared on a livestreaming site showed workers shouting: "Defend our rights! Defend our rights!" Other workers were seen smashing surveillance cameras and windows with sticks. One Foxconn employee who recently started working at the Zhengzhou plant told the BBC workers were protesting because Foxconn had "changed the contract they promised".

"Those workers who are protesting are wanting to get a subsidy and return home," the staff member said.Foxconn has not yet commented. It is Apple's main subcontractor and its Zhengzhou plant assembles more iPhones than anywhere else in the world.
