1. Comparison of Chinese and American workers
The contrast between Chinese and American workers is too stark. When the American employee saw the boss Cao Dewang, he personally said to him, thank you for giving us the opportunity to work, and invite you to my house for barbecue next time. And the US side works 22 days a month for $100 a day, eight hours a day, and can chat and laugh at work. It can be seen that American bosses and migrant workers are not so strict and live a better life. It seems that capitalism has developed to this point, and the food has become very good-looking. No wonder the West is often unemployed because their unions and laws have excluded almost all bad jobs.
However, the Chinese side works 12 hours a day, takes one or two days off a month, and can only go home once a year. The children are all left-behind children, and they endure the brainwashing and oppression of militarized management in the factory.
The daughter of an American worker makes $40,000 a year doing manicures, and he makes $27,000 himself.
2. Comparison of trade unions between China and the United States
Cao Dewang insisted that he did not want American workers to form a labor union, but the funny thing is that Fuyao China actually has a labor union, which is led by China! ! ! (The trade unions in capitalist countries, and the trade unions in socialist countries "led by workers and peasants," which one can better protect workers' rights and interests? Forget about changing the name of China Supply Chain, and talking about the China Special Society, but physically it is sacrificing For the lives of several generations of ordinary people, the capitalist powers will walk the road again. Please change your name to the Chinese Baath Party, otherwise the coffin board of such a gc party Marx will fly up!!!)
In the latter part of the film, the scene of the union meeting where the workers complain about the evil deeds of the capitalists is the first time I have seen it. I really can't think of seeing it in a capitalist documentary filmed by a capitalist country.
3. One of the techniques of capitalist brainwashing - nationalism
Fuyao's saying "The spirit of craftsmanship is a Chinese custom" is to use nationalism to kidnap workers morally.
Cao Dewang spoke to the Chinese workers in the United States, saying: We are all Chinese, born of Chinese mothers, the motherland is something we will never forget, and we must always remember that we are Chinese. So we are now being watched by Americans, and we must show them well so that they can see the efficiency and output of the Chinese.
What was wrong with what he said? People are not divided by nationality, people are divided by class! ! ! Don't believe me, here's an example:
Children of Chinese capitalists + children of American capitalists✅
Children of Chinese migrant workers + children of American migrant workers✅
Children of Chinese capitalists + children of Chinese migrant workers❌
Children of American capitalists + children of American migrant workers❌
It is not the nation that divides people, but the class! ! !
4. Capitalist Brainwashing Techniques - "Unity & Honor"
Fuyao Glass has its own song, which the employees sing together during meetings, just to numb the employees and willingly feel that the capitalists and I are one family, which is better for exploitation. The same goes for names like "family".
The psychological logic behind this method of creating a sense of identity within the company is the same as that of nationalism. In short, it is to extract a common point between the employees and employees, and make it up if it is not available, so that the slaves can develop a sense of identity.
And at the end of the party, "Choose the best one and put it on the cover of the next issue of "Fuyao People" (I am a Fuyao person, I love Fuyao, and it's amazing my Fuyao!)
At Fuyao's year-end party, the boss and the workers participated together. Everyone was very happy. During the Yinggeyan Dance, the company's sense of identity became stronger, the workers were more willing to work for nothing, and the capitalists' exploitation was easier! At the end of the party, they went back to their respective homes. The husband hugged his wife whom he hadn't seen in a year, but the wife cried out for love; the mother bought a bunch of things for the child she hadn't seen in a year, but the child wouldn't call her mother; the capitalist brought a more beautiful new mistress. I drove the Porsche I just mentioned to Sanya for a drive!
When visiting the Chinese party, the US said: "We're very impressed everybody in united states.... We are very amazed. The American employees work for China, and they are very harmonious people who can see and feel it." After that, they followed the party. Let's dance together. People in capitalist countries feel ashamed and call you the real capitalist!
The U.S. side returned to the U.S. after its inspection in China and made the following improvements:
1. In the pre-class meeting, line up to shout slogans. On the first day of the test, the U.S. personnel were cowardly. He didn’t have much confidence. He only asked if he put on some blindfolds. There was no problem with the production line. The workers were hanging, standing erratically, shaking their bodies with disdain on their faces.
2. After a period of time, a Fox News reporter went to interview, saying that Fuyao had received 11 complaints of safety incidents, and employees complained about the unsafe working environment. Then employees started protesting "people-power, people-union". Hold a sign to protest on the road. Damn it, the people who are least afraid of capitalists are actually the American people in capitalist countries!
Five, capitalist manipulation techniques - inserting eyeliner
Chinese manager: "I will know these extreme few union leaders, I will know, because I am in the lower team and have my eyes and ears. I deal with these unions in a variety of ways, this one is also the leader of the union (turned on the phone) Photo album, a smiling black man appeared.) That's it, let me click on this man. You see, I have a good relationship with him (swipe to a photo of him taking a photo with the black man, the black man grinning) You go After two weeks, there will be no such person." Damn, you really hide a knife in a smile, can you use the means in the world? ? ?
There is an even more rude operation. Fuyao paid the Labor Relations Research Institute one million dollars to fight the union. Well, it seems that the benefits of squeezing employees are more than a million dollars.
6. About the bottom of the United States
Compared with China, the bottom of the United States is living a life like heaven. The disadvantage is that it is almost impossible for the class to rise, the price of college is so high, and it is almost difficult for the bottom of the United States to accumulate too much savings with medical insurance, but the good thing is that you can always be a carefree fool in a short period of time.
7. Excerpts from Shocking Conversations
The Chinese side: "To tell the truth, you have eight days off a month, and you have eight hours a day on weekends. This is already very cool. I am a Chinese person about one or two days a month."
The US side: "So I tell you, the American employees are just too bad."
The Chinese side: "No, it's your nature that's like this, it's not that you're bad, everyone can change."
The US side: "We have some people who want to improve and who want to go up. They are very good, and most of them are here to collect wages, not to make glass."
Chinese: "How many hours in one shift?"
US: "One shift is eight hours"
Zhong: "One class is worth a hundred dollars. There is an old saying in China that you can do as much as you can with your money, and you are worthy of the money you earn. You should understand?"
Mei: "I see."
Zhong: "Anyway, I heard that people over there are laughing and joking and chatting."
Mei: "Our best tool is duct tape. Put duct tape on your mouth and they'll do better."
Medium: "Can you post it?"
Mei: "I can't post it, but if we can post it like this, our output can come up. Because they are all long-winded now, that's all..."
Zhong: "The most important thing is that you have to form a kind of solidarity and effort with them."
The Chinese employee part is as follows (answer from a female employee)
Chinese female employees answered: "I have a family...the children are also in my hometown...I don't have holidays, and I don't go back very often. I rarely go back. Basically, I can't go back until the Chinese New Year... .We work for 12 hours...it's exhausting, there's nothing I can do."
The Chinese male employee replied: "The leader asked us to do it, so we did it... One is only half a year old, one is only four years old, and the other is a little younger... It depends on the situation, if the glass is busy If you don't, you may not be able to take a break... go back once or twice a year."
Female employee B replied: "The older one is 11 years old, and the younger one is 8 years old...I just work overtime and spend very little time with them."
8. Summary
Cao Dewang let Americans relive the original capitalism of a hundred years ago, and let Americans experience the so-called united front power game that buys some people to suppress some people and settle accounts later in the autumn. The United States has moved from barbarism to civilization, and if China wants to be civilized, it has to be barbaric first.
