The suspect part had been sourced by a supplier in the VW supply chain and not by VW directly, it was claimed.

It came as Volkswagen was hit by additional claims from German media that it had benefitted from human rights abuses in China’s troubled Xinjiang region.

Seems like VW is the scapegoat for all industry wide problems 😂

I’m confused. Since when are human rights abuses a problem when there is money to be made? What makes this case so specific?
