Volkswagen Group plans to continue operations at its plant in China's Xinjiang region despite reports of human rights violations there, CEO Herbert Diess said.
VW has a joint venture plant with SAIC in Urumqi, the capital of the region where Western nations and rights groups say ethnic Uyghurs face torture and detention.
Volkswagen Group is shifting more production to North America and China as a result of the war in Ukraine and will prioritize China this year, CEO Herbert Diess said in a press call on Tuesday.
