Terrible documentary, but a warning about China.
One has to wonder why the Obama's had anything to do with this sad, depressing documentary.
The one interesting aspect of this movie is the expectations in life of Americans versus the Chinese. The jealousy and contempt the Chinese had for the Americans, calling them stupid and lazy throughout the movie, and one particular sequence has the most disgusting American behaving like a turncoat insulting Americans to his Chinese boss to curry favor. This is the same thing that happens with many middle managers who sell out their friends and co-workers to rise in the organization. It is sad enough to see it in American corporations, but to see an American degrading his people and his nation for a bunch of foreign investors who want to bring the inhuman conditions of China, where they get one day off in two weeks and work 12 hours a day, and get paid far less than Americans.
Odd that is supposedly communist China where the party is supposed to be for the people that they are so against the American unions, and have no real union for workers in China. It seems to indicate that there is no communism or socialism going on in China, just tyranny.
This documentary was very hard to watch, and it is unclear what the point or the message of it was, but it certainly was not pleasant, not good for Americans or workers anywhere.
