Where
Hi teachers,
After a string of suicides among employees at Foxconn's plant in Shenzhen, where the starting wage was a paltry $130 per month, the company effectively offered to doubt many workers salaries.
Does "where" describe Shenzhen, or After a string of suicides [...] in Shenzhen?
Can "a string of suicides" be replaced by "a wave of suicides"?
Thank you.
