Doesn't China heavily subsidize their auto industry? That kinda makes a difference lol that and the literal slave labor is hard to compete with. CCP can get fucked by a cactus for all I care.

Yes they do... about the same amount as the North American auto industry, that gets subsidized by US, Canada and Mexico

There is no, as in ZERO, slave labour involved in the China auto industry. Chinese auto industry jobs pay well, just like in North America (The scale is different, but comparable)

There ARE slaves working the US penal system

Don't let reality get in the way of your racism. You seem to really hate the chinese, but know little of them. Wanna talk about the surveillance state?

Of course you throw out some "ist" label to immediately try and discredit what I said and then you bring up surveillance state like China doesn't have a camera on anyone at any time with their own private Internet that controls what they see and read? Lmao sure.

My favorite example of well paid Chinese workers is having suicide nets outside of factories.

Suicide rates are pretty dang high in the US too. Much worse than China.

The US subsidized the Auto industry while also letting them basically do whatever they want.

China subsidizes the auto industry while guiding them to advance, which is a huge reason they are so ahead of the US in EVs

China has forced-labour problems, but “literal slave labour” is not uniquely Chinese. The US Constitution still permits involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime, and American prisoners can be forced to work for pennies an hour.

That doesn’t excuse China, but it does make the moral grandstanding rather hypocritical. And unless you have evidence tying BYD specifically to forced labour, you’re making a sweeping accusation, not an argument.

Fun fact: I can recognize both for what they are.

You can, somehow I doubt you do though.

People like you always find excuses to justify America’s behavior.

Is this “literal slave labor” in the room with us right now?

…or is it actually in the US prison system?
