Factory City: EUPA . Documentary China labors and the largest factory in the world
They live there. They eat there. Their children attend school there. But most of all, they work there. They are the 17,000 employees of EUPA, a "Factory City" in the southeast corner of China. EUPA's massive workforce pumps out 15 million irons per year, millions of sandwich grills, microwaves, coffee makers and blenders. Now they are about to take the manufacturing world by storm with their introduction of solar powered products. From the 2500 microwaves that come off the line each day to the four tons of rice served daily in the five ca feterias, we showcase the process and the personalities that keep this massive machine well-oiled. The show will focus not only on how the goods are made, but how the Factory City operates. It's a novel concept for the rest of the world. But it's become a way of life in China, where a new industrial revolution is unfolding on a scale the world has never seen.

Can they build nuclear aircraft carriers? The US has 20, China has 0... China has 3000 war planes, the US has 14,000... Ops toasters and irons will get you money, military might will get you WHATEVER YOU WANT!

To compete with "made in China", Europe may also build this similar factories with workers from emigrants who only demand safe living (wage only fraction of europe wage)... :)
-
my question is, who would buy these?
-
The building looks Racist..... They all are yellow :P

fine publication! discovery usa can not do better than 360p publishing at best.

If the workers who made these shitty grills could afford to buy them, the factory would figure out that they need a total overhaul because the grills don't last more than six months. Making a product which works for two weeks or a month is easy.

note their faces: laborers are exosted. Managers and buisnessmen looks absolutely happy.
l hate capitalism -
super country i have to say
-
Wow ! The workers are ? happy ? with this, some sort of communist + capitalism hybrid ?
Guessing that trying to start a labor union would not be well received. Is this a good thing or the worst thing ? -
We are all living our lives out this way, some of us just have bigger factories and more choices.

I would kill myself if I had to live at my job
-
Fuck. I have that cheap ass $10 iron. Well at least it still works after a few months.
-
60,000 irons a day? where do they wind up? I have one iron and I haven't used it in a decade. Maybe they should slow down?
-
chance are we have something that was manufacture here, but does not worth a crap
-
