Yes. Work conditions in China are no doubt worse even than in the USA. I am reminded of an article in The Onion reporting that "Chinese Employers To Grant 15-Minute Maternity Break" [1].

Having said that, I'd assume that the conditions at Foxconn are better than many other (particularly smaller) employers. But it's hard to tell from the outside.

Looked it up, it's 14 weeks which I guess isn't great.
Better than the US which is zero
Then mandatory breastfeeding breaks for the first year paid by the employer.
