Chinese Language Program Visits "American Factory"

Chinese Language Program Visits "American Factory"

In February, 10 students in EALC's Business Chinese class traveled to Moraine, Ohio, to get an up-close look at the operations of the Fuyao Glass Company, subject of the Oscar-winning documentary film “American Factory,” released in 2019. Fuyao, a Chinese manufacturing company with a headquarters in Fuqing, China, reopened the factory following the closure of a General Motors assembly plant in Moraine, a small city in western Ohio steeped in manufacturing history. The film captured both the tension between management and workers during efforts to unionize and camaraderie between American and Chinese workers.
