Auto factories are well known for providing above average working conditions and career paths for their workers in China (high skill, robots). This is one product you would want to buy to support worker rights in China which notoriously have almost no rights or representstion.
I'm not sure. There was a guy on Lemmy saying essentially that the "wages are actually pretty good in auto manufacturing, but of course you have to do 60+ hours a week for them to be good, not be lazy and do 40" from his own experience in China.
60+ hours is kinda the norm in China though
