28-02-2024

As the European Union ponders statutes that respond to unverified claims by different organizations of the usage of slave labor in the manufacture of a variety of goods from China, a series of … claims has been made against one of the Union’s largest manufacturers: Volkswagen. As we review the claims against Volkswagen it is easy to see how the issue has the capability of wreaking havoc with international trade with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Some of the claims are so removed from the exported product that one wonders if it is simply an insincere way of removing certain sectors of China from international trade.
