> claim that Chinese workers are 30% more efficient

I was just quoting what the documentary said. There was so much contention between the management and the workers in the American glass factory featured in the documentary. In the end, the management hosted a competition between the American workers and the Chinese workers. Chinese workers won with a big margin.

Yep. It's a great documentary that I enjoyed watching, but I think we need stronger evidence here. Documentaries are not necessarily factual, and they often times have an angle despite the idea that they're just producing factual content/stories.

Showing that the Chinese workers won by a big margin doesn't prove anything. It definitely doesn't prove anything outside of that specific scenario.
