BANGKOK — From automakers to electronics companies, Chinese corporations are expanding their footprint in Thailand as they brace for renewed Sino-American trade frictions under the second Trump administration.
Electric vehicle maker BYD employs roughly 200 Chinese workers at an assembly plant in eastern Thailand’s Rayong. They work from morning to night, going back and forth between the factory and nearby dorms, and even work on the weekends, according to a Thai executive familiar with the plant.
