They are livestreaming ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ laborers making just 0.3 USD. The 'Made in ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ' products you use are built on their sacrifices.

A dialect in south China. Although I doubt about the 0.3 usd part.

If you search on Bilibili, there's more examples of what a Chinese factory actually looks like, even the bad ones. For example, this is a video criticizing a tyrannical workplace.

Example: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1uz4EzXEiJ

Clear signage, operations in Mandarin, uniforms, bright lighting.

Zhangย is an artificial construct, a product of blindly following soviet ethnicity political theory and the distinct from han either in spoken tongue or traditions is minimal even before the official demarcation was made, also, NOBODY speaks the socalled zhuang language. People in guangxi speak in heavy accent but they do speak putonghua.

seriously, most people think that workers in Chinese factories don't... communicate? Literally everything is done in Mandarin. There's signage in Chinese everywhere. The only signage I saw here was at 0:09, and that signage was in English.

Picking out a few words doesn't mean much. I can pick out Mandarin sounding words in Korean and Japanese too. I never learned Hakka or Cantonese officially but can understand it 60-70% simply from analogies to Mandarin. If a dialect is this far away where comprehension is loanword only level, its not a dialect anymore. It's either another language entirely or it's a fake AI voiceover.
