BYD Co Ltd&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) contractor Jinjiang Group on Thursday said that the Brazilian authority&#8217;s portrayal of its employees working at the Chinese EV giant&#8217;s factory in Brazil as &#8220;enslaved&#8221; is &#8220;completely inconsistent with facts.&#8221;
What Happened: Jinjiang said that their workers were unjustly labeled as enslaved, making them feel insulted.
"Being unjustly labeled as ‘enslaved' has made our employees feel that their dignity has been insulted and their human rights violated, seriously hurting the dignity of the Chinese people. We have signed a joint letter to express our true feelings," Jinjiang said on Weibo, as translated by Reuters news agency.
Lin Yunfei, general manager of branding and public relations at BYD, also reposted the statement. Yunfei also alleged that the allegations are an attempt by &#8220;foreign forces&#8221; to smear Chinese brands and the country.
"In the matter of smearing Chinese brands, smearing China, and attempting to undermine the friendship between China and Brazil, we have seen how relevant foreign forces maliciously associate and deliberately smear," Yunfei said in a post on Weibo.
BYD did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: Brazilian authorities said on Monday that they have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42667814/brazil-authorities-halt-work-at-byd-factory-site-after-workers-found-in-slavery-like-conditions">halted the construction of the plant that BYD&nbsp;is building in Salvador</a>, Bahia after finding workers living and working in conditions analogous to "slavery."
Authorities ordered that the construction of the factory in Bahia be stopped after rescuing 163 people working at the site, according to a statement by the Labor Prosecutor's Office (MPT).
The authorities shut down the workers' lodgings and communicated the same to both BYD and construction firm Jinjiang Construction Brazil Ltd, one of the contractors hired by the company to carry out the construction, it added.
The MPT also noted that the conditions constituted "forced labor." If a worker were to terminate their employment contract after six months, they would leave the country without any pay for their work since the company deducted their airfare to and from Brazil, in addition to other costs, the statement said.
BYD was planning to start production at the factory in Brazil in 2025.

Tesla, Toyota And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is reportedly close to merging its South Korean operations with E-Mart Inc. in a deal valued at approximately $4 billion. This strategic move aims to bolster their position in South Korea&#8217;s competitive online retail market.
What Happened: The potential joint venture would combine the e-commerce assets of both companies, creating a stronger entity to challenge local competitors like Naver Corp. and Coupang Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>). Discussions are ongoing, and while an announcement could come as soon as this week, finalizing the agreement may take longer, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-26/alibaba-is-said-to-near-4-billion-deal-with-korea-s-e-mart">reported</a> on Thursday.
The merger comes as Alibaba seeks to expand its international presence amid slowing growth in its core Chinese market. Meanwhile, E-Mart has been actively growing its e-commerce segment, notably acquiring a controlling interest in eBay Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) South Korean marketplace in 2021 for roughly $3 billion.
Neither Alibaba nor E-Mart has commented on the matter yet to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>.

This development occurs against a backdrop of declining consumer confidence in South Korea, impacted by political instability following President Yoon Suk Yeol&#8217;s&nbsp;declaration of martial law and&nbsp;subsequent impeachment.
Why It Matters: The potential merger between Alibaba and E-Mart is part of Alibaba&#8217;s broader strategy to refocus on its core e-commerce operations. Earlier this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36912036/alibaba-plans-to-sell-off-grocery-and-retail-assets-doubles-down-on-e-commerce-core">Alibaba announced plans</a>&nbsp;to divest several consumer sector assets, including its grocery business Freshippo and retailer RT-Mart. This move aligns with the company&#8217;s strategic pivot under Chairman Joe Tsai and CEO Eddie Wu, aiming to shed non-essential and unprofitable units.
Moreover, Alibaba&#8217;s recent investment of $71.4 million in South Korean apparel brand Ably Corp has turned it into the country&#8217;s first unicorn of 2024, highlighting Alibaba&#8217;s growing interest in the South Korean market. This investment valued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260627/south-korea-gets-its-first-unicorn-of-2024-as-china-based-alibaba-invests-714m-in-ably-corp">Ably at over $1 billion</a>, marking a significant increase from its previous valuation.

Alibaba Nears $4B E-Commerce Merger With South Korea's E-Mart: Report

Peter Thiel, former CEO of PayPal, once shared his perspective on the evolving role of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on math skills.
What Happened: In April, earlier this year, speaking on the &#8220;Conversations with Tyler&#8221; podcast, Thiel suggested that AI&#8217;s rise could reduce the emphasis on math proficiency, as AI systems can solve complex mathematical problems.
The billionaire expressed concerns about Silicon Valley&#8217;s heavy focus on math, describing it as an unstable trend. He questioned the link between math skills and other fields, such as neurosurgery, and proposed that AI could lead to a societal transformation.&nbsp;

Thiel likened this potential change to the impact of IBM&#8217;s Deep Blue defeating chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, which altered perceptions of chess skills.
&#8220;Isn&#8217;t that what&#8217;s going to happen to math and isn&#8217;t that a long overdue rebalancing of our society,&#8221; he stated.
His remarks suggest a possible rebalancing in society, where math may no longer be the primary measure of ability.

Why It Matters: The integration of AI into everyday tasks is already underway.
Acquired by Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s subsidiary Google a year ago, Photomath already helps users <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/03/37475397/solve-math-problems-easily-at-home-with-googles-ai-a-step-by-step-guide-to-using-photomath">solve complex math problems</a>, from basic arithmetic to advanced calculus.
Earlier this year, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd also made strides in AI with its Qwen2-Math models. These models reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40311463/alibabas-new-math-ai-models-outshine-us-counterparts-report">outperformed U.S. counterparts</a> in mathematical tasks.
Last year in March, OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, with the Wolfram plug-in, scored 96% on the U.K. A-level math exam, a key benchmark for university admissions. In comparison, ChatGPT alone scored just 43%.
Experts also remain skeptical that AI will replace mathematicians in the near future, according to a June 2023 <a href="https://www.scmp.com/video/technology/3223174/ai-better-maths-mathematicians">report</a> by the South China Morning Post.

Peter Thiel Once Said He Would Bet On The Reversal Of Silicon Valley's Math Bias As AI Continues To Rise: 'Isn't That A Long Overdue Rebalancing Of Our Society'

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) overtook its American rival Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the fourth quarter of 2023 as the world&#8217;s biggest battery electric vehicle seller. Tesla, however, took back the title in the first quarter of this year and has been holding on to it since.
What Happened: In the last quarter of 2023, BYD sold 526,409 battery electric vehicles, effectively replacing Tesla as the world&#8217;s biggest seller of BEVs. Tesla in that quarter delivered just 484,507 units. 
Tesla regained its position as the world&#8217;s top seller of BEVs in the first quarter after selling 386,810 BEVs, 86,696 units more than BYD. Unlike Tesla which sells only battery electric vehicles, BYD also makes plug-in hybrids.

In Q2 and Q3 this year, Tesla kept its lead ahead of BYD in global BEV deliveries despite hardships. 
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42259569/chinese-ev-behemoth-and-tesla-rival-byd-marks-68-growth-in-november-sales-on-rising-popularity-of-plug-in-hybrid-evs">October and November</a>, BYD cumulatively sold 387,679 battery-electric vehicles. The company now needs to sell around 112,400 BEVs in December to cross 500,000 BEV sales in a quarter yet again. 
As for Tesla, it is unclear how many vehicles the company has sold thus far this quarter given it only releases sales data at the end of every three months.
For the full year 2023, Tesla delivered 1,808,581 vehicles around the globe. To mark a growth over last year, the company has to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles in the three months through the end of December. Tesla has not delivered over 500,000 vehicles in a quarter to date, making this an ambitious target. 
Furthermore, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), the company is faced with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42571913/tesla-registrations-drop-by-nearly-41-in-november-in-eu-dragging-down-optimism-for-over-500000-ev-deliveries-in-q4">demand challenges in the European Union</a> which might weigh heavily upon the company&#8217;s annual delivery target. 
Financials: 
For the third quarter between July and September, BYD's operating revenue rose 24% to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41647639/teslas-chinese-rival-byd-outshines-elon-musks-ev-giant-in-quarterly-revenue-for-first-time-since-202" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">201.12 billion yuan ($27.55 billion)</a>, the company said in a filing.
Tesla, meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported a total revenue</a>&nbsp;of only $25.18 billion in the same quarter, making it the first time since 2022 that BYD has trumped&nbsp;Elon Musk&#8217;s&nbsp;EV giant in quarterly revenue. BYD stopped making combustion engine vehicles in March 2022 to focus on electric vehicles.
Despite reporting higher revenue than Tesla in the third quarter, BYD&#8217;s net profit continued to trail behind<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Tesla&#8217;s net income of $2.167 billion</a>. The company reported a diluted earnings per share of 4 yuan (55 cents) for the quarter, lower than Tesla&#8217;s adjusted earnings per share of 72 cents.

Amid the bustling holiday season, an Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) driver left 80 packages in a wooded area in Lakeville, Massachusetts. This incident occurred because the company faced intense pressure to meet delivery demands.
What Happened: A stressed Amazon driver abandoned 80 packages&nbsp;in a wooded area near&nbsp;Lakeville, Massachusetts, just days before Christmas.&nbsp;A Lakeville police sergeant discovered&nbsp;the&nbsp;packages during a routine patrol&nbsp;early Sunday morning, finding them scattered in three large totes near 63 Bedford Street, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/stressed-amazon-driver-abandons-80-packages-mass-woods-holiday-shippin-rcna185343">reported</a> on Thursday.
The packages were not reported as stolen or missing. The police contacted a nearby&nbsp;Amazon distribution center in Middleborough&nbsp;to facilitate the return of the items. On Monday, the driver confessed to leaving the packages on the roadside Saturday evening "because they were stressed" and intended to inform their manager about the incident.

Lakeville Police Chief Matthew Perkins stated that no criminal charges would be pursued, considering the matter a human resources issue for Amazon. Chief Perkins praised the officers for handling the situation. The driver&#8217;s identity remains undisclosed, and the police department has closed the case without further action.
Amazon has yet to respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>&#8216;s queries.
Why It Matters: The incident highlights the mounting pressure on Amazon during the holiday season, a critical period for retailers. The fourth quarter, which includes Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas shopping, can account for up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42676608/will-amazon-dethrone-walmart-this-holiday-season-here-is-what-you-should-know">40% of annual sales </a>for retailers like Amazon and&nbsp;Walmart Inc. This period is a battleground for retail dominance, with consumers seeking both in-store and online bargains.
Additionally, Amazon&#8217;s operations have been<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42577506/amazon-shares-rise-as-company-says-operations-remain-unaffected-despite-workers-at-seven-us-facilities-going-on-strike-amid-peak-holiday-shopping"> tested by a strike</a> at seven U.S. facilities, part of a broader push for contract negotiations. Despite this, Amazon announced that its operations remain unaffected. The strike has been labeled the "largest" against Amazon by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

'Stressed' Amazon Driver Dumps 80 Packages In Massachusetts Woods Amid Christmas Holiday Rush

The clock is ticking for TikTok as the Supreme Court of the United States or SCOTUS prepares to hear arguments that could determine the future of the app in America.
With the Jan. 19 deadline fast approaching, a potential nationwide could impact the app used by over 170 million users. Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about this high-stakes battle.
When Will SCOTUS Review The Ban
The Supreme Court will review TikTok&#8217;s arguments on Jan. 10, 2025. This urgent hearing comes after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the ban earlier this year.

What Is TikTok's Argument&nbsp;
TikTok is urging the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling by the appeals court. The platform argues that banning it violates First Amendment rights, while the government defends the ban as necessary for national security.
Who's Interested In Buying TikTok
Billionaire Frank McCourt has expressed interest in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39457779/real-estate-billionaire-frank-mccourt-wants-to-buy-tiktok-to-transform-internets-influence-on-societ">acquiring TikTok's U.S. operations</a>, pledging up to $20 billion with a consortium of associates. However, any deal would exclude TikTok's algorithm.
Previously, former U.S. treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and Canadian businessman Kevin O'Leary both <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37886126/kevin-oleary-wants-to-buy-tiktok-and-is-scouting-for-investment-an-interesting-deal">announced plans to form</a> investor groups, with O'Leary proposing a $20–$30 billion bid.

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski publicly offered to lead a consortium for a U.S. acquisition, while former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has reportedly been exploring partnerships for a bid.
Oracle and Walmart, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/20/09/17575532/tiktok-ban-averted-as-trump-gives-deal-with-oracle-walmart-his-blessing">nearly acquired</a> TikTok in 2020, and Microsoft, which pursued a deal that same year, have also been mentioned as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38358239/microsoft-and-oracle-could-be-tiktoks-likely-buyers-but-real-winners-would-be-mark-">potential contenders</a> this year. There were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40866761/is-amazon-eyeing-tiktok-for-a-possible-acquisition">also speculations</a> about Amazon eyeing the TikTok acquisition.
Trump's Changing Stance In his last administration, President-elect Donald Trump targeted ByteDance but he has since expressed a softened view. Earlier this month, there were reports of a meeting between TikTok's CEO Shou Zi Chew and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42522134/trump-meets-tiktok-ceo-shou-zi-chew-at-mar-a-lago-as-platform-urges-supreme-court-to-block-looming-ban">Trump at Mar-a-Lago</a>.
"We&#8217;ll take a look at TikTok," Trump stated earlier that day. "You know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok."
Michael Walz, the NSA designate and a former congressman, has also in the past voiced strong opposition to TikTok. Now he has since aligned his views with the president-elect's evolving position.
