Samsung has issued a public statement saying that it will no longer source parts from the factory pending a full investigation. For its part, Dongyang Shinyang claims that a local employment agency is responsible for hiring its personnel, and would have intervened if they "had any idea what was going on." For now, however, Chinese authorities are involved, and if the claims are found to be true, then Samsung will sever ties with its former partner for good.
