Did coerced labour build your car?

It's remarkably light on details about the coerced / forced labour.

It just mentions that they ship in thousands of workers from the western regions of China where there are forced / coerced labour issues.

~~I'm not one to trust or believe the Chinese government, but this article didn't exactly convince me there was an issue in the first place.~~

Edit: never mind, I missed the link to this article which has a lot more detail: https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025-05-29/chinas-economy-runs-on-uyghur-forced-labour

Where do we draw the line with what is/isn't coercion? "Wage slave" is a commonly used phrase for a reason. Most people face the threat of homelessness and starvation if they don't work.

But this gets a little philosophical. I'm going to interpret it to mean: "labor standards and practices that are considered unfair by developed western nations." Unfortunately this is pervasive and many common products fall under this.

Not possible I have been assured by .ml that China could never do such a thing and only the US and the West are capable of wrongdoing. Besides having a job is good.

You can rest easy now.
