In plain English

This repository is a community-maintained blacklist of Chinese technology companies that programmers have flagged for problematic employment practices, such as withholding wages, breaking agreements with employees, or mistreating technical co-founders. The README is written in Chinese and contains a curated list of links to public discussions, news articles, and forum posts documenting specific incidents at named companies. The project exists as a reference for developers job-hunting or considering business partnerships in China's tech industry, so they can research potential employers or co-founders before committing. Entries are organized by company name and link out to third-party sources (mainly Zhihu, a Chinese Q&A platform, and news sites) rather than making direct accusations. The repo was started by an individual developer to keep track of situations they personally came across, with community members invited to contribute additional cases via GitHub issues. The primary language is Shell, though the bulk of the content is structured text and external links. There is no app or tool to install, it is purely an informational reference list.
