Yes, all that shitting on America is called outsourcing. It's what Bain and others have been doing for the last 20 years at least, and that includes training replacements. Typically, if you stay to train your replacement, you get a nice severance, otherwise you only get unemployment insurance.

The thing that makes this instance so outrageous is the claim that they actually took down the US flag and flew the Chinese flag. There is no evidence of that that I have seen yet and the guy at 1:38 in the video does not claim they flew the Chinese flag, only that they took down the US flag.
