Xiaomi sure as hell isn’t a “workers’ cooperative” - it’s literally a public stock company traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for crying out loud! And I don’t think anyone would doubt the fact Xiaomi’s engineers are paid well, well at least the ones that actually work for it and aren’t the employees of affiliate-startups that are part of the Mijia-ecosystem, but Xiaomi like everyone else, even Fairphone, uses the unethically-treated and underpaid Chinese factory-worker labour-pool exactly like everyone else - as disposible cogs in a well-oiled tat-producing machine.

Average wage of a factory worker in china is $3.77 usd per hour. Please go to china and let me know how well they treat you lol
