The rescue of 163 Chinese workers from BYD's construction site highlighted 'slavery-like' working conditions, prompting a crackdown on human trafficking and the halt of temporary work visas.
With the dormitories lacking mattresses and toilets for hundreds, conditions were described as extremely unhygienic, leading to severe concerns over labor rights in foreign investments.
Experts emphasized the case's significance, arguing it juxtaposes China's drive for investment against Brazil’s need for labor rights, raising questions on international labor practices.
BYD stated its cooperation with authorities while emphasizing its commitment to Brazilian law, amid accusations of human trafficking and illegal wage practices.
