  • Story Text: Shares in Taiwan's Foxconn, a major supplier of Apple's iPhones, dropped as much as 3% on Monday (October 23) after a report the company is the subject of tax audits and land use probes in China just months ahead of a Taiwanese election.
    China's tax probe of Foxconn is unusual and the company was possibly singled out for "political reasons," two sources close to Foxconn told Reuters on Monday, after the Chinese state-backed Global Times said the firm was the subject of tax audits and land use probes.
    The paper said China's natural resources department had also conducted on-site investigations on the land use of Foxconn enterprises in Henan and Hubei provinces and elsewhere.
    Foxconn said in a statement on Sunday (October 22) that legal compliance was a "fundamental principle" of its operations everywhere, and that it would "actively cooperate with the relevant units on the related work and operations". It declined further comment on Monday.
