☆ Tumbling exports feed worker unrest in world's factory China
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Laurie Chen | Thomson Reuters | Laurie Chen Is A China Correspondent At Reuters' Beijing Bureau | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Exports and factory output in the world's second-largest economy tumbled in May, as looming downturns force the United States and Europe to pare back orders for goods made in China. Some factories closed or are struggling to pay wages or severance for laid-off workers as a result, according to Chinese labour researchers. "We believe that the drop in manufacturing orders and that factory closures will continue," said Aidan Chau, researcher at Hong Kong-based rights group China Labour Bulletin (CLB). Labour unions were central to the Communist Party's proletariat beginnings but play only a marginal role in modern authoritarian China. However, some analysts say factory strikes could become a political headache for the Party.

Aeroflot asked its employees to stop reporting malfunctions on planes, Proekt reported. Russia's biggest commercial airline Aeroflot has asked its employees to refrain from reporting malfunctions as it continues to suffer under Western sanctions, according to the investigative Russian outlet Proekt. This means that many flights are departing with significant breakdowns that staff are fully aware of, several employees said. A former pilot told Proekt that on a flight in January, he found a fuel leakage while starting the engines of a Boeing 737. "It had happened several times before, but there were no records of it in the technical log book — the airline's management asked us not to write anything," the pilot told Proekt.
☆ Venezuela exports oil, despite US sanctions, using false documents, ships linked to Iran

But satellite images and photos show the Chinese-owned ship had loaded the oil four months earlier in Venezuela, an OPEC nation in South America under U.S. oil sanctions. Two of those tankers, including the Young Yong, were designated this month by U.S. authorities for violating sanctions on Iran, one of Venezuela's closest allies. The U.S. Treasury declined to comment on the involvement of the Young Yong or the other vessels identified by Reuters in shipping Venezuela crude. Indonesian authorities said in early November that the Young Yong had run aground off the Riau Islands on Oct. 26. The United States imposed oil trading sanctions on Venezuela in 2019 after calling Maduro's re-election the previous year a sham.
