"In Vietnam in 2007, in Brazil in 2011, in Pennsylvania in 2013, and in Indonesia in 2014, Foxconn announced enormous factories that either fell far short of promises or never appeared."

The joke is that Foxconn looked at the (then) Republican leadership in Wisconsin and saw the ideal business partners.
