12 days agoIt’s China. They’re speed running the United States. They have a history of this. What was Brazil honestly expecting? This is the country whose Industries put Nets up on the outside of buildings. Not to catch construction workers that fell accidentally. But to stop exploited workers from trying to escape their exploitation by throwing themselves to their death.
Oh absolutely. Campists gotta camp. I’m honestly waiting for someone from Lemmy.ml etc to chime in saying that this is somehow USA CIA disinformation. Despite having nothing to do with the USA.
It was wrong when my country did it. It’s wrong for anyone else to do it. Though I’ll say I was kind of sad to see that the workers were just sent right back to their abusers in china. I would have hoped they would have offered them Asylum perhaps. But that’s a very complex deal. I’m sure a lot of them had family they wish to return to etc. Ultimately it’s not something Brazil alone it is really going to be able to make the dent in without the aid of the rest of the International Community. Which is more than happy to be complicit.
