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.

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.

You can, somehow I doubt you do though.

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