That same slave labor is the reason why so many western companies moved their factories to China in the first place form 1978 when China open to international business and leaving a working class of people without jobs, and VW was one of the first to open a factory there.
Funny how we never saw the usage of Chinese slave labor as an issue warranting tariffs when it made western companies huge profits and leaving westerners jobless, but only when they have to face with the new Chinese competitors and loose profits do they cry wolf.
Hypocrisy much?
- mattmaroon 3y agoI’m not sure it’s hypocrisy so much as pure self-interest. It would be hypocrisy if the complaint was actually about the condition of Chinese workers. Few really care about that unless they’re jumping out of windows, and most not even then. In both cases, it’s just capitalists wanting to make money. It may be awful but it’s at least consistent.
