This documentary is a mirror of the development model of China and the United States.

Capital has no national borders. Production in the United States can make money, and capital can travel across the ocean. Capital also has national borders, and we all know whether it is our own people. On the one hand, we are family, on the other hand, American workers want to create labor unions, and on the other hand, the Chinese employees' meeting is discussing how to stop labor unions. The removal of foreign executives should, to a certain extent, be due to cultural distance and exile. When we are talking about universal values, we are also reciting in our hearts "not my race, their hearts must be different". The poor family is hard to leave, the motherland is not abandoned, and culture flows on each of us. A person without cultural identity has no foundation. Overseas Chinese are limited to the Chinese circle and cannot enter the mainstream society. It is very understandable, so I am very cautious. treat immigrants.

Watching this film, I have a kind of identity entanglement. On the one hand, as an employee, I also want more humane management like American laborers, to be respected and human rights, and willing to fight for the interests of employees. Strictly implement company policies, supervise whether employees are efficient and conscientious, act as accomplices in defending "capital", and actively optimize some people under the guidance of the survival of the fittest. Sharpening the knife today, will the bayonet be pointed at me tomorrow?

Another thing I would like to say is that the people are stupid, the general public cannot have vision, and society is dominated and driven by a few elites. Labor only thinks about the present moment. The revitalization of the rust belt in the United States is full of difficulties. If employees are unwilling to give up benefits, do not do a good job of psychological adjustment, rely on one or two politicians to shout a few words, and have their blood boiled for a few days, I am afraid that it will not be successful. Industry/capital does not see it. Profits will never return! Let the people make a choice. The people will always choose the most comfortable one, but it is worth thinking about whether it is the most beneficial and the most rational. Excited here, over here! Is Democracy Almighty?

A generation has a generation. When there is a certain amount of material accumulation, China's industrial workers will also become more comfortable, and it is an inevitable trend for those who want human rights. The trap of history will continue to play out on the earth with limited resources!

In addition to the bloodthirsty of capital, I think Cao Dewang has the seeds of "dare to change the sun and the moon for sunny days" in the Chinese people's bones. Let you see what is thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, but the relationship between China and the United States has fallen apart. It looks very dazzling! I don't feel enslaved when I work in a US company. Maybe it's easy to switch from thrift to luxury, but difficult to switch from luxury to thrift? I think Cao Dewang is a kind of entrepreneurial spirit, which is objectively the cultural self-confidence and cultural output after the rise of our country.

Finally, I would like to say that "American Factory" is the best response to Xue Zhaofeng's "capital is weak" statement.
