之前有部纪录片火遍中美2国，就是由奥巴马的公司投拍的《美国工厂》--一部讲述曹德旺，中国的玻璃大亨在美国设厂的故事。因为奥巴马还在任的时候，就提出：教育问题就是经济问题。所以，现在你看，美国经济不好，就跟美国工人的素质不高有关。对照就是中国工厂里的工人素质，效率都高得出奇。 在美国，当地工人很难适应。在国内，人们在普遍对本片一致赞誉的同时，也在问：中国工人像机器一样的高效率到底是值得自豪，还是悲哀？(ponder whether to feel pride or sorrow at management methods like Fuyao's. )
今天就跟大家分享一段《经济学人·商论》里对这件事情的报道。内容已经经过大幅修改。

这部影片是在俄亥俄州代顿（Dayton）的一家工厂内拍摄的。这家工厂于2014年被福耀收购，这家中国玻璃制造巨头为全球汽车业供货。
“American Factory” was shot inside a plant in Dayton, Ohio, which was taken over in 2014 by Fuyao, a Chinese glass-making giant that supplies the global car industry（同位语）.
电影内容介绍：
2008年，通用汽车关闭了当地的工厂，因此对失业的当地人来说，福耀的到来是一件天大的幸事。然而没过多久，斯达汉诺夫式的老板们就和一群难以驾驭、直言不讳的普通工人发生了冲突。这部电影是现代制造业的寓言，展示了每个国家的强弱项。
General Motors had closed its complex there in 2008 , so for jobless local people Fuyao’s arrival was a miracle. Before long, however, Stakhanovite bosses clashed with a restive and outspoken factory floor. The film is a parable of modern manufacturing, showing the strengths and weaknesses of each country(指中国和美国).
引起中国观众的反思：
对于中国观众来说，影片对他们的缺点的展示直击要害。
For Chinese viewers, the failings of theirs hit home. The film makes them to realize that Chinese efficiency is driven by depriving workers living at the bottom of society of their health, safety and dignity.
