> From what I've heard, Foxconn is a highly desirable place to work with top of market pay and benefits.

The article states differently:

>> Foxconn is known for its high staff turnover, largely because of the low monthly salary of 2,100 yuan per month (US$313) in Zhengzhou. By comparison, the average salary in the city of Zhengzhou in 2018 was 6,929 yuan (US$1,035) per month.

Average salaries can be very deceptive especially in developing nations. The real question is what someone with minimal skills or education can make in the area.
