Personally, I don't see what the problem is. If FoxConn believes that what the journalists printed was intentionally/recklessly false, then I think it is entirely appropriate to sue for damages, and an asset freeze can be perfectly legitimate in this situation. I certainly don't see this as a David and Goliath situation...individuals have always had the ability to cause massive financial damage to large corporations (for example, the Wendys finger-in-chili woman). Now, whether FoxConn can prove intentional falsehoods is another matter.
