Summary
Brazilian authorities uncovered “slavery-like” conditions at BYD’s factory construction site in Bahia, rescuing 163 Chinese workers subjected to withheld passports, withheld wages, and unsanitary conditions.
The site, managed by contractor Jinjiang Group, was shut down, and BYD faces scrutiny despite its promises to cooperate.
The case highlights tensions between Chinese investment and local labor standards, sparking debates in Brazil and China over worker rights.
Experts see this as an example for Chinese investors to respect Brazil’s independent judiciary while noting it won’t deter future Chinese investments.
Indeed. I’m not sure why you expected an explanation.
That’s not rational.
Without an alternate explanation to the one I came up with, it’s absolutely rational to continue with my explanation.
If you wish to offer an alternate one for me to consider, feel free. You won’t because you were, in fact, engaging in whataboutism. And now you’re being ridiculous about it.
No it is not.
Oh, well I can’t counter such a well-reasoned rebuttal.
I believe you but the case you made is absolute ass
I assume you brought that point up not as ‘what about the west’ but ‘west does it so they won’t care about china’
