Protests at the world's biggest iPhone factory are escalating.

Videos on Chinese social media that said they were filmed at the factory in the central city of Zhengzhou showed thousands of people in masks facing rows of police in white protective suits with plastic riot shields.

At the center of the protests: China's zero-Covid measures and the poor working conditions that accompany them.
