Basically it's showing you how the GM factory shuts down in Dayton and then is reopened several years later by a Chinese company, in this case Fuyao Glass (a story playing out all over America). Long story short, they bring in a boatload of Chinese workers to work with the American workers. They generally get along but obviously are quite different. They try to brand the company as very "American" and downplay Chinese ownership to make the American workers comfortable. But the Chinese ownership is obvious as everyone worships the Chairmen and even small things like company slogans put up on walls written in "Engrish" or with grammatical errors. The American workers take some of the Chinese workers fishing and to Thanksgiving dinners and teach them to shoot guns. They really like the guns because gun ownership is illegal in China. The Chinese workers are generally more efficient because in China they worked 12 hour days for very little pay and were always under the threat of being let go if they didn't behave like perfect little worker bees. They perceive the American workers as lazy and inefficient and are shocked to hear they only work 8 hour days in America. The Chinese workers get mixed messages as they're told to assimilate into American culture, and they do try, but Chairmen also implores them to remember they are "Chinese no matter where you live or where you are buried" when he worries about the factory losing money, because he relies on Chinese 'efficiency' (read: $lave labor). There is conflict about having a union. Of course unions are unheard of in China and the Chinese management is death opposed to unions and Chairmen threatens to shut the factory down if the workers unionize. The workers of course really have no choice, but do push for a union. Chinese boss can't understand why his American president and VP aren't 'stopping' this, so he fires them. The American workers who were making $29 hourly at GM now make $12.84 hourly with Fuyao. It just generally speaks to how the working class is doing the best it can, in China or America, but are just generally fucked over by all these forces at play and how standards and pay and lifestyle for the working class are just being rolled back and drilled back down into slave labor. The Chinese slave labor culture due to their huge poor population + communism and American legal/union culture that has workers rights and workers who were formerly middle class is the main conflict. It's a microcosm of the American-Chinese differences. Anyway, it's worth a watch but fucking depressing.
