this whole story is disgusting. The whole thing...the flag, American jobs going to China, everything. But can someone please explain to me how a person can be forced to train their replacement? What's the worse case scenario if you don't? You'll get fired? They had to have held severance pay over their heads, which only gives more credence to the belief that that these are heartless bastards we're dealing with. And we're supposed to trust them to regulate themselves.

Update: A Chinese Flag Flying in Freeport, Illinois? [View all] monmouth Oct 2012 OP

Not only did they insult Americans on American soil by putting the Chinese flag up, ywcachieve Oct 2012 #1

No, that didn't happen. You should stop saying it happened, because it didn't. Schema Thing Oct 2012 #3

It did happen, and here is one video of proof. ywcachieve Oct 2012 #10

Nowhere in the video does an employee mention a Chinese flag IDemo Oct 2012 #15

Listen to the complete video, you will hear a male worker talk about the Chinese flag being raised ywcachieve Oct 2012 #22

Watch the video again--the worker never mentions a Chinese flag. nt pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #23

Here is another article talking about how the US flag was lowered ywcachieve Oct 2012 #36

Do you even watch or read the links you post? pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #37

The video does mention a Chinese being raised. ywcachieve Oct 2012 #39

Repeating the falsehood doesn't magically make it true pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #40

I have listened to the entire video 4 times, carefully IDemo Oct 2012 #24

Listen closely as one of the employees of the plant say the Chinese flag was raised at the plant. ywcachieve Oct 2012 #13

The ONLY pplace a flag of another country should be flying on US Soil benld74 Oct 2012 #31

Actually foreign flags fly along side of the US flag quite often. FSogol Oct 2012 #38

U may be correct, yet in the case mentioned in the article, I do not believe it is right. benld74 Oct 2012 #48

Reports that the company raised the Chinese flag were false pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #49
