Summary

Brazilian authorities discovered 163 Chinese workers allegedly living in “slavery-like conditions” at a BYD electric vehicle factory construction site in Camacari.

Prosecutors suspect human trafficking under contractor Jinjiang Group, citing poor living conditions such as mattress-less beds and inadequate cooking facilities.

BYD terminated its contract with the contractor but dismissed the allegations as a smear campaign against Chinese brands.

The workers have been moved to hotels, but their current whereabouts remain unclear as investigations continue. BYD’s factory is set to begin production next year.

    no surprise that a Chinese manufacturer are using slave labor to make their products. a good chinamen is a good slave, that’s what society has taught me since they just lie down and accept this kind of treatment. that’s what the CCP teaches. those people are fucked for all time as long as the CCP remains in power.
