The article is certainly somewhat incoherent.

But there's a hint of dishonesty in your retort too: obviously, there are competitors who would pay more (and they are paying more elsewhere, since their margins are so much smaller than Apple's), but for much smaller quantities of production. A supplier like Foxconn can't afford to lose a customer like Apple because they were already selling their services cheap with low margins. Apple is basically squeezing them ever more — instead of growing business needs leading to improved conditions for employees, Foxconn is forced to provide more for less because Apple can demand that "or else".

I am not saying this is true, but this line of thinking is still obvious just from the short quote you posted.
