BYD in China shows off their factory towns for how wonderful the workers live. Its a modern day Hershey. It might be more of a Brazil issue than a BYD issue.

There is a lawsuit in China involving BYD, it shows in October of 2020 an assembly line worker clocked 441.5 raw hours, got paid ~$1.96/hr after overtime multiplier. The reality in car manufacturing in China is 12hr shifts, 2 days off a month and $2-3/hr wage, simply sweatshop in the 21st century.
