The ‘sabre rattling’ has been practiced by China for a long time, and not only against Australia. And China’s claims the Australian aircraft illegally entered its airspace is factually incorrect.
[Edit typo.]


Your comment is apparently not accurate. It’s noteworthy that China’s claims over islands and outcrops effect not only Australia, but practically all its neighbours like Philippines, India, Buthan, Nepal, let alone Taiwan.


Study on public EV charging in Europe
… recent EU rules require countries to install a certain number of chargers based on how many EVs they have and how far people drive. By mid-2025, most EU countries had already met or exceeded their targets, especially France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The number of chargers across Europe is expected to nearly triple by 2030.


The reports of irregularities at the BYD factory site in Brazil could prove to be a major sticking point in Brazil-China relations
Brazil has long sought more Chinese investment. But China’s model of taking Chinese workers to the countries where it invests presents a challenge to local job creation, a priority for President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.


A task force led by Brazilian prosecutors said it rescued 163 Chinese nationals working in “slavery-like” conditions at a construction site […] where Chinese electric vehicle company BYD is building a factory.
The [Brazilian] Labor Prosecutor’s Office released videos of the dorms where the [Chinese] construction workers were staying, which showed beds with no mattresses and rooms without any places for the workers to store their personal belongings.
Officials said [BYD contractor] Jinjiang […] had confiscated the workers’ passports and held 60% of their wages. Those who quit would be forced to pay the company for their airfare from China, and for their return ticket, the statement said.
Prosecutors said the sanitary situation at BYD’s site in Camaçari was especially critical, with only one toilet for every 31 workers, forcing them to wake up at 4 a.m. to line up and get ready to leave for work at 5:30 a.m.


In Brazil,
The Chinese workers hired by BYD contractor Jinjiang in Brazil had to hand over their passports to their new employer, let most of their wages be sent directly to China, and fork over an almost $900 deposit that they could only get back after six months’ work, according to a labor contract.
They know what’s giong on. It’s all Chinese, including the contractors.


BYD’s entire supply chain is fully vertically integrated. Also, workers in BYD’s factories in Brazil and elsewhere are exclusively Chinese migrant workers. BYD knows exactly what goes on.


[In Brazil], in the same month that BYD’s car carrier arrived in the country, Brazilian prosecutors announced plans to sue BYD and two of its contractors for ‘slave like conditions’ at a factory site. BYD has previously said it has ‘zero tolerance for violations of human rights and labour laws.’


I get your sentiment, but indifference isn’t a solution either, and am also not so sure whether it has no effect in the long run if more people openly criticize such actions. I don’t know whether something leads to a change, but doing nothing certainly won’t.
