Reports have emerged detailing the exploitation of North Korean workers in Chinese factories, including seafood factories with ties to Canada. These workers face conditions of captivity, violence, and sexual assault, with their government sending them to work in such conditions to earn money. Additionally, the Chinese mafia is implicated in making billions from online crime, utilizing 200,000 modern-day slaves in their operations. Documents have leaked revealing the operations of a Chinese private hacking contractor, I-Soon, showcasing shady business practices, worker disgruntlement, and poor security protocols, as reported by the Associated Press. In response to these revelations, there are calls for Canada to crack down on imports produced through forced labor.
