Conflicts and contradictions, but cooperation clearly wins

THE DOCUMENTARY AMERICAN FACTORY shows cooperation and communication can overcome various contradictions and divergences in business operations to achieve a win-win result in the era of globalization. China Youth Daily comments:

The documentary recently went viral on the internet in China, sparking much discussion. It focuses on the flagship overseas factory of Fuyao Glass in the United States, and shows real scenes in the factory that highlight many profound issues related to the cultural differences between China and the US.

When the founder of Fuyao Glass, Cao Dewang, decided to invest in the US, it drew a lot of attention. Under the framework of the international division of labor in the past few decades, seldom have enterprises of developing countries set up factories in developed countries. That is because the costs, especially labor costs in developed countries such as the US, are much higher than those in developing countries such as China.
