Share:
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is confronting multiple scandals at its Hungarian operations, including allegations of slave-like working conditions and the discovery of thousands of cubic meters of toxic soil at its facility. The controversies have emerged as Chinese investments in Hungary lose their previous political immunity under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government. The developments mark a significant shift in the treatment of Chinese business interests in the country, which had previously enjoyed strong political protection under Orbán's administration.
