“Low labour risks” refer to areas or conditions where the likelihood of labor-related issues, such as strikes, disputes, or workforce instability, is minimized. In the context of Xpeng’s plans to manufacture electric vehicles in Europe, the company aims to establish production in regions with low labor risks to ensure stable operations and avoid disruptions that could affect production and supply chains[2][3][4][5].
Every one of those “citations” are just rewrites of the same Bloomberg article as this post. Except for a random one about pallet racks which is completely irrelevant and not even cited in the text.
What the articles do make clear is that He Xiaopeng did not elaborate, and Bloomberg did not follow up, which means we can’t actually know unless a scholar or a journalist can provide either established cultural context or ask the chap themselves.
In the absolute best case scenario, this comment is true by accident, and in my books that’s morally equivalent to posting disinformation.
What on Earth are “low labour risks”?
