The focus on BYD follows a 2024 case in which 163 Chinese workers employed by a contractor were found building the automaker's flagship factory ‌in Brazil ⁠under what Brazilian officials described as "slavery-like" conditions.

Seems like BYD deserves to be on the list.

Yeah this is really strategically dumb. People are already more than willing to buy chinese, but this shit really hurts their soft power expansion.
