The college disagreed with those claims on Wednesday.

"Nearly 95 percent, or even 98 percent, of the students who participated in the internship program we had with Foxconn were older than 16," a publicity officer at the college who only identified herself as Zhong said on Wednesday.

Zhong said no student has been expelled because they failed to complete an internship, adding that the college has not made money from the programs.

However, Duan Yi, a lawyer at Guangdong Laowei Law Firm, said underage labor is too common in China.

"We've dealt with cases in which schools made profit by establishing partnerships with factories and sending students to work there."
