They work in unbelievably poor conditions, and workplace fatalities are common. In the worst factories and mines, bodies are just dumped in landfill.

The Chinese government actively facilitates widespread theft of IP.
Foreign companies can only operate in China through JVs, which invariably result in the foreign company being ripped off.

On the international market, China short-sells it's own currency. This makes their exports illegally competitive, and results in building up quadrillions of dollars in USD. That USD is then used to fund acquisitions of foreign mines, etc, by state-backed Chinese companies. Which companies then engage in wholesale visa, royalty, and tax fraud.

The amount of pollution that China produces means that they are single-handedly poisoning this planet, and there's nothing the rest of us can do about it.

The sick irony of anybody buying a Chinese EV, thinking it is somehow better for the planet, makes me want to vomit.

Best post I’ve read in a long time. Sheer greed of humanity is astonishing,
Brazilian BYD factory is a great example, anyone buying these things should take a long look in the mirror
