Forced labor in China – Human Rights Watch takes car manufacturers to task. In 2023, no country in the world produced as many automobiles as China.

The major manufacturers currently producing in China include General Motors, Tesla, Toyota and Volkswagen. VW recently announced that it wanted to expand its commitment. Allegedly, forced labor is used there on a large scale. Human rights Watch pointed the finger at several companies. But is it even possible to adequately monitor supply chains? McKinsey said that 18,000 companies are involved in the production of aluminum.
