I was just searching though subs to see their opinions in immigration… holy shit, this is major sub that often has posts going to the front page. This is yet another reminder why reddit sucks.
Chinese factorys absolutely have slave like conditions, even compared to the shitty work life balance of westerners.
These workers live at the factory, they work insane overtime of like 70-80hrs a week, in the factories that employ Uyghrs they sometimes are trapped there against their will, while the Han workers get more freedoms because the government might help them if the treatment is too abhorrent.

It’s also not racist to point out that Chinese companies more often than not, do steal technology to create their own version for a discount instead of trying to make something new. This is a documted trend in their economy, and is encouraged in Chinese IP law.
And blaming fellow workers for that is missing the issue completely. Their state capitalist bosses are the ones working them to the bone.
Fair
The people who want to leave China probably don’t want those working conditions either
I think the racist part is suggesting that, somehow, Chinese workers is gonna bring over the wage-slavery aspect of China into those EU countries, when they themselves are trying to escape from that very same toxic work culture, which is likely why they are going abroad in the first place.
Its the equivalent of fearing all Chinese people because they fear PRC’s Authoritarianism or the CCP. I’m ethnic Chinese and I do not support CCP or authoritarianism in any way.
Racism is attributing to all people of a race the perceived attributes of some or even most people of that race.
It’s judging individuals based on the group they belong to, like if you thought any Chinese worker coming to Europe would have a specific view of work-life balance.
