'Amazing China' documentary more fiction than fact
By erika kinetz and elias meseret, associated press

A Chinese company that manufactured Ivanka Trump shoes and has been accused of serious labor abuses is being celebrated in a blockbuster propaganda film for extending China's influence around the globe.

The state-backed documentary "Amazing China" portrays the Huajian Group as a beneficent force spreading prosperity — in this case, by hiring thousands of Ethiopians at wages a fraction of what they'd have to pay in China. But in Ethiopia, Huajian workers told The Associated Press they work without safety equipment for pay so low they can barely make ends meet.

"I'm left with nothing at the end of the month," said Ayelech Geletu, 21, who told the AP she earns a base monthly salary of 1,400 Birr ($51) at Huajian's factory in Lebu, outside Addis Ababa. "Plus, their treatment is bad. They shout at us whenever they want."

With epic cinematography, "Amazing China" articulates a message of how China would like to be seen as it pursues President Xi Jinping's vision of a globally resurgent nation, against a reality that doesn't always measure up. The film demonstrates the scope of China's propaganda machine, which not only crafted the stirring documentary but also helped manufacture an adoring audience for it.....

"In opening to the outside world, China's pursuit is not to only make our lives better, but to make the lives of others better," the film's narrator says.

But four current and former Huajian employees told the AP their wages were so low that they struggled to pay their bills. They said they had no protective gear, were forced to work long hours, were barred from unionizing and yelled at by Chinese managers.
"There are chemicals that hurt our eyes and nose, and machines that cut our hands," said Getahun Alemu, a 20-year-old who quit Huajian last year. "They have no idea about hand gloves! If you refuse to work without that protective gear, then you will be told to leave the company."

Douban, a popular film review website in China, blocked users from commenting on the movie. The only entries came from official media, which gave it an 8.5 out of 10 ranking — a far cry from the single star awarded on Amazon's IMDb.com.
