Brazil suspends visas for BYD after 163 Chinese workers found in "slavery-like" conditions.

Brazil has suspended temporary work visas for Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD after finding 163 Chinese workers in "slavery-like" conditions at a factory site in Bahia. The workers were employed by contractor Jinjiang Group, which denies wrongdoing. If confirmed, Brazil's Ministry of Justice may revoke the workers' residence permits. BYD plans to start production in Brazil early next year.
