Summary
Brazilian labor authorities have accused Chinese EV producer BYD and its contractor, Jinjiang Group, of human trafficking and “slavery-like conditions” for 163 Chinese workers at a factory construction site in Bahia.
Workers reportedly faced degrading living conditions and excessive hours.
BYD and Jinjiang have agreed to house workers in hotels until contracts are resolved.
The case has sparked scrutiny in both Brazil and China, with potential impacts on China-Brazil relations and BYD’s global expansion.
BYD denies wrongdoing, blaming misunderstandings and “foreign forces” for tarnishing its image.
BYD thought they could get away with the same stuff in Brazil that they do in China.
Shocker
“Foreign forces” lmfao. I keep saying those ML twats sound a lot like paid actors. ;)
BYD is a multinational, multi billion dollar, for-profit, publicly traded corporation. If they’re Marxist-Leninist, then I guess so is Apple and Tesla.
Yup
It’s terminology that the CCP prefers, I imagine they use the same word everywhere.
You would think if they are building cars that they would want to avoid traffic.
