Brazil has put China’s BYD on a registry of employers who have subjected workers to conditions similar to slavery, after a 2024 scandal in which Chinese workers were said to have been victims of human trafficking and abusive contracts.
The list, published by Brazil’s Labor Ministry, carries further reputational risk for the automaker in its biggest market after China.
I don’t understand why such a company is allowed to sell its products.
As an addition, BYD has laready been used slave labour not only in its domestic factories but also abroad such as in Hungary and Brazil.
For this reason, Brazil puts China’s BYD on list of shame for workers’ past slavery-like conditions.
I don’t understand why such a company is allowed to sell its products.
Because a bunch of ‘Canadians’ in high places are about to make some money.
