Slavery is Part of China, Inc’s Business Model; Slaves Were Even Brought to Brazil for a Chinese EV Plant

Slavery is thriving in Chinese manufacturing, both in China proper, and at Chinese plants built in other countries. “Free traders” and others who blanch at the thought of corporations paying any labor expense have green-lit the aggressive renaissance of chattel labor in the 21st century. They are willfully blind to slave labor being the linchpin of the “China, Inc.” business model, because it gets labor expense as close to $0 as possible.

Meanwhile, libertarians and free traders say it’s all cool because consumers get lower prices. While I like to mock their buzzphrase “Tariffs are a tax on consumers,” they have effectively adopted a corollary phrase, “Abolishing slavery is a tax on consumers.” Sen. James Hammond of South Carolina made pretty much that exact argument in the 1850s when defending slavery in America.

The embrace of 21st century slavery as part of the globalist economic system is an abomination that I keep returning to, because slavery is as offensive now as it was 165 years ago. In a recent piece at The American Spectator titled “The War on Labor Expense is Renormalizing Slavery, Just in a 21st Century Form” I wrote, “So, despite America’s hangover from 19th-century slavery, many 21st-century libertarians still condone its practice overseas. If this type of slave labor offends our sensibilities when it occurs in Georgia, why is it acceptable for manufacturing that is outsourced to China to use the same labor system? The acceptance of slave labor anywhere in our supply chain makes the domestic acceptance of slavery possible.”

The Washington Post performed some important journalism recently in covering the horror of slaves being brought from China to the Americas to work at an electric vehicle plant in Brazil. It’s important to remember that if Chinese companies are brazen enough to use slave labor on foreign soil, think about how pernicious the use of slave labor is in China itself.

“They came to build China’s EV future; Investigators found conditions akin to slavery” [Washington Post – 3/14/2026]

As weeks passed, Oliveira’s curiosity deepened. [The 56 Chinese laborers’] food was prepared in an improvised kitchen in the garage, amid industrial detritus and vermin, and they never seemed to do anything for fun. All they did was work. “Seven days a week,” Oliveira, 35, recalled. “Sunday to Sunday. I never saw any one taking a day off.” They departed every morning at dawn and didn’t return until dusk. The hours in between were spent helping to build Latin America’s largest electric car factory for the world’s biggest electric automaker, China’s BYD.

Brazil welcomed the BYD electric vehicle operation because the intent was to provide manufacturing jobs for Brazilians. The intent was not to bring in foreign labor, and certainly not to import slaves. Perhaps because Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery (in 188 it is very sensitive to those trying to find a workaround to bring it back. When word of slavery being used at the factory filtered up, the government investigated. It found hungry Chinese nationals living in squalor, and working all-day, seven days a week.

Chinese men were inhabiting practically every square inch. Most slept without mattresses. Trash lay everywhere. Food was stored on the ground. In one of the buildings, 31 laborers shared a single bathroom; it was coated with an “excess of sludge,” government inspectors reported. This went far beyond labor violations, the inspectors concluded. The workers enlisted by BYD to build its keystone factory in the Americas had been forced, they wrote, into conditions that recalled slavery.

Much like sex traffickers luring girls into prostitution with promises of a modeling career, BYD and its subcontractors lured poor Chinese men into slavery by promising them a high-paying, overseas job. Once in Brazil, their passports were confiscated, and the promised pay was withheld. Armed security patrolled their sleeping spaces to ensure they couldn’t escape.

As is often the case with modern-day slavery, there are layers of contractors and sub-contractors to muddy the issue of whom the slaves work for, and who is accountable.

But instead, BYD turned to a Rolodex of Chinese construction firms. The list included its longtime business partner, Jinjiang Construction Group, which BYD had hired more than a dozen times since 2017 to help build electric car plants, renewable battery factories and BYD monorails in dozens of locations across China, according to statements from both companies and Chinese state media.
Laborers in China have sued Jinjiang repeatedly, court records show, alleging unsafe working conditions and unpaid wages. Many have lost, not because they couldn’t produce evidence — but because they couldn’t prove they worked for Jinjiang. The use of nebulous subcontractors is common across China’s construction industry, labor advocates say, shielding businesses from accountability.

Jinjiang argued that the situation in Brazil was due to “cultural differences,” and it put out a statement reading, “The claims that Jinjiang’s workers were treated as ‘slaves’ and were ‘rescued’ are completely inconsistent with the facts.”

The same opaque system of “employment” was used by BYD and Jinjiang in Hungary.

“Many workers don’t even know who their legal employer is,” said Li Qiang, founder of the New York-based nonprofit China Labor Watch. His team recently interviewed 50 Jinjiang laborers working on the BYD factory in Hungary. In a letter to local authorities shared with The Post, the organization alleged “clear indicators of forced labor,” including 12-hour workdays and granting rest only when it rained.

Subcontracted slavery is still slavery. All the politicians, free traders, and EV fanboys who are excited about the promise of cheap Chinese EVs taking over the global auto market need to understand that they are active participants in the re-normalization of “the peculiar institution.”

Slavery is clearly not considered a problem in China. It’s policy. Slavery is a fundamental component of the business model for Chinese manufacturing. Those “free traders” who advocate for the use of Chinese manufacturing in the American supply chain are arguing in favor of slavery just as emphatically as John Calhoun or any other southern politician did in the antebellum era.

Climate Realism Rising

Just a reminder - The Heartland Institute is holding its 16th International Conference on Climate Change next month, featuring a who’s who of the leading scientists and climate realists who have been educating the public on the reality of the climate hoax.

As a proud “climate denier” I will once again be attending and reporting on the conference. It is at the Hotel Washington in Washington DC on April 8th and 9th. I met several Ace of Spades readers at the previous climate conference in 2023 and I know that some of y’all will be in attendance this year. If so, I’d be delighted to shake your hand.

Climate communism seemed like an unstoppable force just a few years ago. The scientists who pushed back against media censors and government agencies pushing “net zero” are brave people who risked their reputations and livelihoods. They are heroes to me, like all the brave souls who have fought authoritarians and communists throughout the ages.

Here is a link with more information if you are considering attending. I’d be delighted to see you there.

It's no surprise that as that Empire (and others like it) get consistently mocked, that slavery returns, rebranded with corporate speak to hide the reality. Postmodernism is all about using language to confuse rather than to communicate.

There is no slavery in communism. The state owns everything, including you. The state is using it's resources as it sees fit. You may find it unfortunate that you are one of the resources living in squalor and working 12+ hours, 7 days per week, while others live in luxury but that's just how things are.

50 Hey, remember when the Obamas got that crazy Netflix deal upon exiting the WH, and the first film they produced was this:

". . .about the fate of the GM plant, which was reborn via an unlikely savior: In 2014, Chinese investor Cao Dewang bought the building and reopened it as Fuyao Glass America, manufacturer of windshields and auto glass. The plan was to bring over a core team of specially trained Chinese workers, and to staff the remainder of the jobs with local talent. . .
- - -
By giving nearly equal attention to the incoming Chinese laborers and a handful of Ohio-based line workers, “American Factory” reveals a stark contrast between the attitudes and expectations of each: The foreign workers make huge sacrifices, spending long hours at repetitive tasks and living four to an apartment in order to send their earnings back to their families, whereas their American colleagues seem inefficient and relatively high-maintenance. . .

59 On March 23, 1775: Delegate Patrick Henry rose to address the Second Virginia convention. His speech was built carefully and deliberately, acknowledging the desire for peace while arguing that armed resistance was now unavoidable. He warned that further appeals to the British Crown would be futile Then came the line that would echo through American history: “Give me liberty or give me death!”

Henry’s call for liberty had helped prepare Virginia for what became the American Revolution. Patrick Henry’s words endure because they speak to a universal principle: that freedom and civic responsibility are intertwined. His declaration did not guarantee independence. But it helped galvanize a community to act according to its convictions.

When my son was in the third grade, he was selected to play Patrick Henry in a school play. I worked with him every night to not only go over his lines, but to tell him about the passion and commitment these men had to the birth of a new nation built on liberty and freedom. He played his part beautifully and mom sat in the audience with tears rolling down her cheeks.

My townhall has maps on the walls drawn when the town was first settled in the 1600s. Lot of ocean here.

The contours of the town haven't changed a bit save for normal erosion caused by the ocean relentless hitting the place. Global warming has always been a hoax. Hell, the people who created the scam admitted they made it up to further their Malthusian goals.

A guess? Culturally, they seem to not value life, whether it's a human or any poor animal that crosses their path. If you don't value these slaves' lives, then they are no different than livestock (i.e. not unique individuals with their own souls, personalities, etc.). They only require the bare minimum to be maintained in their pens. Why do they need clean housing, mattresses, a functional bathroom? They have no intrinsic value except whatever work can be wrung out of them.

His speech was built carefully and deliberately, acknowledging the desire for peace while arguing that armed resistance was now unavoidable. He warned that further appeals to the British Crown would be futile Then came the line that would echo through American history: “Give me liberty or give me death!”

. . .

When my son was in the third grade, he was selected to play Patrick Henry in a school play. I worked with him every night to not only go over his lines, but to tell him about the passion and commitment these men had to the birth of a new nation built on liberty and freedom. He played his part beautifully and mom sat in the audience with tears rolling down her cheeks.

153 Slavery in America is getting trades men and women to work sixty hour work weeks. Unless they're running their own business as a contractor, their quality of life is shit.

These companies game the system both ways, and still use illegal aliens paid at low wage, unskilled labor to maximize profits and deprive Americans of jobs that pay a living wage.

That isn't to say there still wouldn't be problems, but obviously as long as you give people money to not work and then let them vote for more money your system can't stand.

Boil it down to its essence, and the irreconcilable difference is between those who see others as people and those who see others as lambs to be fleeced.

Slavers, greens, scammers, mobsters, and every other form of leftist all suffer the power-mad solipsistic delusion that others were put on this earth to serve them.

Call me a heretic, but these are God's mistakes. We can never sustain a just civilization so long as we pretend these are also humans.

Slavery is fundamentally cheap. That is why it has been done since the dawn of time.

This is where being a Godless Heathen Ideology takes you.

When we say that these people do not understand the foundational nature that they are rejecting, this is what we mean. Without Judeo-Christian influence, slavery is totes ok- as long as it is a faction that you deem subversive or less in some way.

Which also makes the things about how their population may be far lower than stated interesting.

Slave revolts in Rome usually followed when there were periods of territorial expansion (hence a lot of new slaves coming in.) Territorial stasis meant the ones they had were usually treated better as a simple expediency.

Considering reports we have about the Uighurs for example, I am not sure our theories are correct in a modern society with much greater surveillance as they seem to be being treated far worse than say even African slaves here.
