This took place in China, but that doesn’t imply legality at all. Just as all of the articles reporting labor law violations in the US is a reflection of the company breaking the law, rather than the law itself.
China has an interesting legal situation since they are a mix of communist and capitalist. Depending on the relationship of the company with the government they can get away with a lot of things that would be illegal for others.
The same is true in the US. Just ask Elon Musk, or any oil executive.
What is it that you think “capitalist” means?
Participating in markets does not make a country capitalist. It’s depends how the means of production & profits are controlled and distributed.
A strawman invented by Marx to tear down. It is slightly related to what people do in the real world, but it is simplified in ways to make the real world seem evil.
LoL. You’re the one who accused China of being capitalist. Now you’re claiming it’s not even a real economic system?
