[quote=Anonymous]Also consider when you hope for Chinese cars to come to the US, what kind of economy and values you are supporting with your money.

Here is a gift link to today's WaPo article about BYD's expansion into Brazil.

https://wapo.st/4bkKLLF

"In May, following one of the most complex and politically sensitive investigations in its history, Brazil’s Public Labor Ministry accused Brazil BYD Auto and two of its Chinese labor contractors, China Jinjiang Construction Brazil and Tecmonta Intelligent Equipment Brazil, of “trafficking” manual laborers into the country and subjecting them to “conditions analogous to slavery”"

"The Chinese companies involved in the project have denied the slavery allegations and deemed them culturally insensitive."

In other words, terrible labor conditions are normal.  Low prices come from somewhere.

I find it ironic that people who care about being green do not care about Chinese labor conditions, global environmental consequences of mining and stockpiling rare earth minerals, national security risks, or the hollowing out of American blue collar jobs which drives adverse political and economic conditions at home.[/quote]
