Next, I would like to see a documentary about the working conditions in a Amazon warehouse.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen on Netflix, what a revelation. I don't know who to feel more sorry for, perhaps the Chinese workers because they seem to unquestioningly accept their treatment as normal.

More in common with each other than with the billionaires, no matter what race or nationality.

As Chinese I got stunned by many twists in the film. Especially when a senior Chinese manager is propagating American workers the greatness of China and luring them with this trip to Shanghai. He referred the Shanghai 'the same as Manhattan'. And American executives coming to China to learn a more 'efficient way of management'. Some Chinese might see those as the rise of China. But I just feel bitter about what is going on around the world. I was touched by how ordinary people are all the same. Ordinary Americans and Chinese concern the same: their families, living a good life and working hard. But individuals are so vulnerable. Chinese workers are severely regulated. Yet Americans do have a voice, but those voices get marginalized and overpowered by Union consulting company. Rich people have different tactics to deal with workers around globe and it's working quite well. And I am just sad that as individuals, we have no way to stand up and escape from this trap.

I'm not from China, I just want to let those American knows, the working culture is totally different between west and east, I don’t think American will understand this documentary, this is how most of the Asia country work (Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Indonesia, India etc) everybody sacrifice on something

This is life, it is so realistic, there is not so much food and products on this planet, but it has a very large population. Human society is still at the starting point of an extremely elementary information-based society. Productivity is still very low, but at the same time, it has huge social demands from owners, and people's communication is not so convenient. We have to respect reality. Brothers, maybe Americans can plunder the world's wealth by printing money, but other countries cannot. Robots are not so advanced. We can only do this. At the beginning of this history, the history of human civilization is only 10,000 years, but our future is still millions of years.

I work in a European bank that was taken over by Chinese institute. It’s funny because although being a Chinese, I only worked for US and European banks before. Although in a vastly different industry, I found surprisingly a lot of similar situations in this documentary. How our European employees and headquarter people back in China think of each other. How both sides having very different attitude towards risk and compliance. I can only say this is a very interesting documentary as it provided a window to gauge into these new joint-ventures, the people in between these two worlds. I am not saying who is tight and who is wrong coz there is no absolute answer to this question, but I hope everyone gets what he wants somehow, because like the guy said in the film, you will realize sooner or later that no matter the differences, we all want to have a better life, and achieve something with it

Many ppl are arguing whether China is a country of Capitalism or Communism. As a resident of China, I can tell you that China is neither a capitalist country nor a communist one. Chinese only believe in pragmatism. Whatever system is good for the development during a particular period, we adopt it. That’s so called ‘with Chinese characters’.

This was one of the most riveting and compelling documentaries I've seen in a long time. If someone doesn't have Neflix, get the 30 day free trial just to be able to 'experience' this documentary. It's painful, sad and very real.

People need to see Michael Keaton's movie from the 80s "Gong Ho." Although a comedy, it also showed the fear Americans had losing their auto manufacturing jobs.

I’ve been working for Mahle a car part factory in Dayton, Ohio based out of Germany for almost three years. Factory work makes you humble.

I watched this movie recently. One (imo) crucial difference between the two groups of workers have been not highlighted. The middle-aged US ones had families and established lives on the spot. It's perfectly understandable that they want off-weekends to spend some quality time with their kids. On the other hand, the Chinese contingent were mostly young men with families on the other side of the ocean (children, if any, are raised by the grandparents I suppose). It's my understanding that most conveyor workers in China are inland migrants from poorer regions, and this kind of life and the chance to make some savings are actually improvement for them.
