17 分钟One of President Trump's top economic priorities has long been to have more stuff made in America.
Our colleague Gavin Bade has been following that effort.
And you're usually reporting from here in Washington, D.C.
What brought you to Ohio?
You know,
one of the things that we do
as reporters is you meet with businesses and you see about what is the manufacturing economy like.
I started talking to a company that was saying we may have to close down some auto glass plants in Ohio.
The company Gavin talked to is called Vitro.
Vitro is a multinational glass company with plants all over the U.S.,
including a crucial auto glass factory outside Columbus, Ohio.
And Gavin says that recently, That factory has been facing a crisis.
They were really concerned about Chinese competition, not coming from overseas,
but actually one that had set up here in the U.S.
That rival is called Fuyao.
It's a huge player in the global glass making industry.
And when Fuyao set up shop in Ohio, it quickly started to out-compete Vitro.
What you're describing sounds like...
Chinese company moves into an American manufacturing town, starts its own factory,
and outdoes the factory that's been there for much longer.
