Chinese billionaire revives closed Ohio GM plant, creates 3,000 jobs

Almost a thousand workers had lost their jobs when the General Motors plant in Moraine, Ohio stopped its operations on 2008. Now, Chinese billionaire Cho Tak Wong, known as Mr. Cho, looks forward to a greater America as he is about to offer 3,000 posts as the said manufacturing plant reopens.

23 per cent of the high-quality automobile windows all over the world is produced and manufactured by Fuyao Glass International empire owned by Mr. Cho. The Chinese billionaire has now transformed the said facility in Ohio into a world-class auto glass factory which can house around 3,000 laborers.

In an interview with CBS, Jim Reid, the plant supervisor, said that when he stepped into the facility two years ago, the place was gloomy and chaotic since nobody used it for almost half a decade. However, despite being vocal with his support to Donald Trump's presidency, Reid confirmed that making the recently elected president accept the thousands of jobs offered by a Chinese businessman was tough in the beginning.

"I'll be honest. I struggled with it a bit when I made the decision. Just because of what I've been led to believe through my life," the plant supervisor said. During the 2016 US Presidential campaign, the Republican bet has held the Chinese nationals responsible for taking the jobs intended to be created for the Americans.

Nonetheless, Cho Tak Wong was never intimidated or threatened with the stand of President-elect Trump towards the employment in the United States. Mr. Cho said that Trump's position on the issue during the campaign was only for the campaign itself. Now that the Republican is already seated in the White House, things will totally be different compared to Trump's rhetoric during the campaign. Next Shark revealed that Mr. Cho is making America "great again",

The employees to be hired will receive a salary with an average of $12 to $15 per hour. However, Mr. Cho confirmed that he is considering an increase in the laborers' salary sooner or later. So far, no less than 10% of the manufacturing plant's personnel are Chinese nationals.
