The Wistron case is an interesting paradox. The regime seems to have thought that letting companies exploit their workers at will, and doing away with labour regulation will help "investment". On the contrary, it lead to unrest that may actually do the opposite

There's a reason why labour regulations exist. And if the law says you've got to treat the worker fairly, the govt is supposed to enforce it. Instead, India tells investors like @Apple and its partners that it will look away if you violate the law, but please come here?

Interestingly, Karnataka recently transferred its Labour secretary , apparently under pressure from Business. (For trying to enforce the rule of law?) This was seen as a green signal that employee rights were not to be taken seriously anymore https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/bangalore/karnataka-labour-secretary-manivannans-transfer-invites-widespread-flak-6406324/
