I had to watch this actual documentary for a Business and Finance Class that I took and boy howdy did I absolutely hate that class. The documentary itself was very eye opening and talks about how the conditions are at EUPA and how on-site everything was, even their lunch breaks and the markets and even the group company weddings. The teacher herself though, was aggravating to say the LEAST. Her other lessons were ripped straight out of the textbooks practically line for line, her methods were unorthodox, and she (during an online only class) required us to take notes in a physical notebook and show her said notes through our Google Meets webcams where we had to get a set number of pages and copy down the graphs in the textbook into our notebooks. Also, when we saw the stock market news and got curious and asked for her to switch around a few lessons to better accommodate what was going on irl and give us some advice and real life examples and comparisons for the stock market (keep in mind this was around the time Gamestop's GME was being shorted and then wallstreetbets came in) and she blatantly refused anyone who asked, just outright ignoring their question as if it was never asked in the first place. Anyways back to the topic of this teacher and how she acted during the in-class watch sessions of the factory documentary. The teacher would play a sort of devil's advocate I suppose I'd call it? and put herself in the position of a CEO and ask us questions. I'll give some examples of the types of responses we would give in return for anyone curious, as its not like we weren't paying attention or didn't respond. "Why should I as a CEO pay my employees more if it means more money out of my own paychecks?" A: Because increasing employee wages above the state's minimum wage increases worker productivity and boosts morale; and people need to pay for things like rent and food to live?? "Why spending time building machines and advertising locally that I'm trying to hire, if I can outsource and give the work to employees with skills and access to machines like those at EUPA and get their abilities and efficiency?" A: The advent of machines in a workplace were supposed to assist humans and lessen the burden on them, not make humans work equally as hard or harder for a faster output. "What about lazy people or drug addicts or those who don't know how to do the work that I require? That costs money and training and I don't feel like going through that as a CEO" A: You'd help drive down local homelessness, poverty, and unemployment rates and boost the local economy all by employing people here around the area. It would cost you money in the short term but think of it as a good investment for yours and their futures. "Why should I do anything about their healthcare" A: Employees might not want to work for you if you don't cover their benefits and needs. The list went on and on... She also said off-hand comments about how she dreamed of things like an 80-hour work week and that the new generations have things too easy. (Never got an official age from her but she didn't seem any older than 45 herself) She seemed completely unfazed about the protection of workers, their rights, and safety regulations. Only caring about a bottom line of a company and said things at how Union Busting was a good thing and she was envious of China's fast production. I remember an entire class discussion about how she tried convincing us that outsourcing work and jobs to other countries with lax laws and safety regulations was a great thing since it meant she in a hypothetical CEO position would pay less per hour. Didn't care that we mentioned child labor, lack of safety, separation of work and home life, nothing. The first few days I thought she was pulling some sort of test to get us angry and gauge our responses and attentiveness but she seemed WAY too convinced that there was nothing wrong with what she was saying as long as it filled a company's bottom line. That lady was insane and I'm glad I'm done with her class.... Anyways, sorry for the rant, this video just reminded me of her heavily and I just needed to tell somebody about that awful experience.

This isn't even the largest factory in China. The largest factory in China has 300,000+ employees during iPhone manufacturing season. Even when they filmed this the Foxconn factory (Manufacturer for Apple, Playstation, Nintendo ETC) had 100,000+ employees. Compared to EUPA's 17,000. Mind Boggling.

@@Imbrojeff2361 I don't know much about Korea, but Japan is actually way better off. They have things called rights, women aren't second class citizens anymore, and generally speaking it's a far more peaceful place to be. Remember, people actually choose to leave Western countries to live in Japan because of how nice it is. Noone chooses to go live in China for any reason except money. The overworking situation is still bad in Japan for sure though. But even the reasoning behind it is different. China you legally must continue working, like you don't have a choice once you've agreed to it. Japan's problem is cultural not legal. People feel like it is shameful or dishonorable to not work as much as possible. While cultural and peer pressure is still bad, it isn't nearly as bad as basically being forced into it through slavery.

For comparison, I wanted to look up the largest factory in the US, and apparently it’s the Boeing Everette Factory and it’s the largest in the world. It’s insane how different the environments feel.
Boeing has to treat their employees extremely well. They require a lot more technical knowledge, are a lot harder to replace, and have to make products of the highest quality. They do most of their sales through government contracts where fuckups can cost lives. Meanwhile in China lives are less important than a damn clothes iron. Shit is bizarre.
@@Pihsrosnec labour actually isnt cheaper It's all about the lower up-front cost, allowing more factories producing more goods to be built For the cost of one western factory, you can build 3 chinese ones, each producing the same quanity. Considering that the difference in operating cost is less than half the profit of the western one, this is the logical approach
This legit is a lot like company towns coal companies had in the early 1900s to 1950s. Also can't believe Mr. Pan forgot to mention he created Huggbees so he could make this documentary to show all the things Mr. Pan made
Remember how they used to pay the workers in some sort of “proprietary” cash aka basically a coupon that could only be spent at company owned stores. Which effectively trapped every worker since you know they don’t own anything besides Monopoly money. I’m sure not every place did that but god damn sounds like hell

Something feels kinda off with this comment. Reading a comment about how you have been struggling lately, while watching a video where 17000+ people are pretty much modern slaves is.. Interesting.
I lived with my parents in this factory for the first 11 years of my life. I was a proud 3th generation factory slave untill we had to flee the country. One of my sisters wore an orange shirt one day and as the company rules prescribed, our whole family had to be immediately shot on sight. I managed to escape along with my mom. My drunk that and the rest of our family was not so fortunate :( Thanks for bringing the sad lives of factory slaves such as myself to light.
That “same piece of mint flavored dental floss” line was a weird Al Albuquerque reference. That is a deep, brave reference to make. Good for you my friend.
hello mr. bees, not sure if you'll see this comment or not since it's on an older video. I've recently started listening to a podcast called Welcome To Night Vale, and noticed that your pitch and articulation in your voice acting is very similar and thought do you take inspiration from Cecil, the narrator of Night Vale? I've been watching you for a few years now but recently I noticed the similarity. if you read this, I LOVE all your videos so much, never stop taking risks ❤
The number of I've caught the Albuquerque reference at 17:19 or so, I don't know how many weird al references I've missed because I wasn't listening closely enough. This is why you're the best.
I am Chinese and this is absolutely hilarious! Love your work Huggbees. On another note much better than those "Real" documentary on youtube who does fake subtitles on Chinese languages to make China look bad.
i thoroughly impressed with this, they're really trying to discount the actual problems in China with subtle bullshit instead of blatant lies, their improving their misinformation!
Huggbees is pretty much like I envision the tiny voice in my head, shouting funny things from the back of the class (with it's feet on the table) to the front, where it gets noticed by the "Ha ha" cortex, but usually mostly silenced because I'm actually trying to focus on learning something. I have to usually keep myself from laughing out loud at documentaries and things like that, being fully aware that most of it will likely seem stupid or distracting to others, If I don't. And it's weirdly accurate because you still learn stuff, while all that is happening. And I've decided that I'm gonna call that voice Huggbees from now on. So next time I'm watching something and think of something sarcastic or funny, I'll just tell myself: "Shut the f up, Huggbees!" and you can bet that I will giggle at that. You can bet.
so... i watched this while super high months ago, like far higher than i'm comfortable with now. I felt like this video lasted absolutely forever, and believed every word.

This video was more informative and entertaining than I anticipated, nicely done. Thanks.
This basically is what happens in normal production and manufacturing facilities, and in amazon warehouses.
Im watching this in the US thinking how nice it would be to have a place to sleep while working. Here we work full time while sleeping in a van.
I was gonna put this on in the background and fall asleep to another hardly-interesting documentary but I had to do a double take when I started hearing the narration. Great video.
This is so sad, life is more than just work. Sadly this same thing happens everywhere in the world, not just China
Crab niklsun
"I say to hell with the work you have to do to earn a living! That kind of work does us no honor; all it does is fill up the bellies of the pigs who exploit us."
Huggbees never disappoints. When can I buy this on DVD?
"This Disney DVD is equipped with Disney's fastplay"
I need this on vhs

For a minute, I thought this was serious and actually got on here to complain. Then I started listening. THIS IS FREAKING HILARIOUS.
What a great and diverse cast of characters. Made me more invested than most modern series.
Can't wait for this to be dubbed to Chinese so Chinese people can watch an American parody of a Chinese factory documentary dubbed to Chinese
I actually watched this original documentary/ propaganda last year. Your translation idea is gold.
Thank you, so much easier than finding all parts
Holy shit the intro to this slapped!! Love how you got to the point so quick
My hometown once had a factory with 15k workers. More workers than inhibitants in the town. Mauser Werke Oberndorf a. N. Germany
I love the narration. Really serious stuff. Hitting subscribe now...
That little girly giggle after the 'ironed out' joke. Jesus, man. You got me.
Got hit with an Audible ad right after he said “the audio went out because we outsourced it to China”
Truly poetic
I like how this time he restrained himself and took a little over a full minute to break the illusion of a serious documentary.
Your channel is so amazing. I never expected something like this! Hilarious through and through!
I know I'm not the only one who has been going through some stuff, only to have some relief from it all given by yet another insanely ridiculously hilarious Huggbees video. I know it's lame, but seriously, some of us need these "parasocial" relationships when the real world gets too much.
Yep.
I mean it's not parasocial unless you think you're actually friends w/ Andrew. You're allowed to enjoy the dude's content and have a laugh out of it, go easy on urself man lmao.
Whatever gets you thru bro.
Something feels kinda off with this comment.
Reading a comment about how you have been struggling lately, while watching a video where 17000+ people are pretty much modern slaves is.. Interesting.
"Rifle bullets are loaded into AK-47s" lmao
"In case they see a nearby Japanese citizen "
Okay but nobody’s asking the real question: what does the factory that makes the yellow shirts look like?
They wear orange shirts at the yellow shirt factory
@@taflapo9361 Because they're actually made in the US with prison labor.
I had to pause midway to motivate your continuing to make such hilarious notumentarys
Imagine screaming TENNO HEIKA BANZAI
In one of they're warehouses
Adding a comment to help with the algorithm. Love the vids my dude
I love the really fucking obscure Weird Al reference :P
Which one? I know of two.
@@DevinGates look up weird al Albuquerque
@@sammalynn yeah, that's the one at 17:17 , and one at 34:13 from Hardware Store
I love you guys!! I knew I wasn't the only Al fan who'd immediately recognize those plagiarisms!! Stay weird, my estranged brothers!
I have watched this 7 times now. I show this to everyone. I LOVE THIS.
The awkward pauses between sentences makes it 100x times funnier 💀
Excellent video. Very informative. Translation was spot on, too.
I lived with my parents in this factory for the first 11 years of my life. I was a proud 3th generation factory slave untill we had to flee the country. One of my sisters wore an orange shirt one day and as the company rules prescribed, our whole family had to be immediately shot on sight. I managed to escape along with my mom. My drunk that and the rest of our family was not so fortunate :( Thanks for bringing the sad lives of factory slaves such as myself to light.
to others who read this comment, this comment is a joke, not real.
This is great and it took me longer than I would like to admit that it's satire
Loving the Weird Al references!
That “same piece of mint flavored dental floss” line was a weird Al Albuquerque reference. That is a deep, brave reference to make. Good for you my friend.
With this subject, there are points in this video where i had a hard time discerning a joke from a serious fact
I thought this was a real documentary until the narrator said their sweat could quench the thirst of Shaquille O’Neill lol
That ending bit comparing it to the average American lifestyle was hilarious.
I loved this. Just found your channel. So good. Didn't know it was comedy at first. 😅
I get weird shivers when he just randomly stops talking
An absolutely magical piece of art! 10/10
Are you sure it's not a filling machine? Also, I love how you used Weird Al lyrics for the things the guy invented, freaking perfect 😂
He did it again at 17:19, those words come straight from the song Albuquerque
hello mr. bees, not sure if you'll see this comment or not since it's on an older video. I've recently started listening to a podcast called Welcome To Night Vale, and noticed that your pitch and articulation in your voice acting is very similar and thought do you take inspiration from Cecil, the narrator of Night Vale? I've been watching you for a few years now but recently I noticed the similarity.
if you read this, I LOVE all your videos so much, never stop taking risks ❤
This is a certified Chinese classic
This is great, is there or can we have a "living at work" series? Appreciate the longer videos for this kind of documentary too. Funny af cheers
Damn, I can't believe a Hive City is actually real, 38k years ahead of it's time
The number of I've caught the Albuquerque reference at 17:19 or so, I don't know how many weird al references I've missed because I wasn't listening closely enough. This is why you're the best.
Um. I know you said you "don't have any corn", but could you please go in the back and check? Maybe they forgot about a box back there.
This is an amazing video!
Just watched this Andrew, very very well put together, well crafted video and i learned a lot
I am Chinese and this is absolutely hilarious! Love your work Huggbees.
On another note much better than those "Real" documentary on youtube who does fake subtitles on Chinese languages to make China look bad.
Oh, you sly dog.
i forgive you for being chinese
We don't need subtitles to make China look bad. The Uyghur genocide is enough.
yeah lol. Isn't as bad as it sounds
i thoroughly impressed with this, they're really trying to discount the actual problems in China with subtle bullshit instead of blatant lies, their improving their misinformation!
I’m a little slow when it comes to jokes ,thank God I finally caught on a great video
Huggbees is pretty much like I envision the tiny voice in my head, shouting funny things from the back of the class (with it's feet on the table) to the front, where it gets noticed by the "Ha ha" cortex, but usually mostly silenced because I'm actually trying to focus on learning something.
I have to usually keep myself from laughing out loud at documentaries and things like that, being fully aware that most of it will likely seem stupid or distracting to others, If I don't.
And it's weirdly accurate because you still learn stuff, while all that is happening.
And I've decided that I'm gonna call that voice Huggbees from now on.
So next time I'm watching something and think of something sarcastic or funny, I'll just tell myself: "Shut the f up, Huggbees!" and you can bet that I will giggle at that.
You can bet.
I will in fact, bet.
Wow, very informative,,, love it! Liked, sub'd and shared!!
I really question how much of this is real. Shaq has an absolutely massive thirst
I can't believe you completely changed 5 seconds from each video and thought we wouldn't notice
I dont own a coffee maker, iron, grill, or american flag. Shame on anyone who does. 😎
"What's it like to live where you work?"
Every over the road driver had that "looking away meme" pop into their heads.
Fun fact: Nunavik Qc has a population of 15+ thousand people
the fact this is 30+ minutes just makes it all better
We really sleeping on that Albuquerque reference?
I prefer the Hardware Store one :)
so... i watched this while super high months ago, like far higher than i'm comfortable with now. I felt like this video lasted absolutely forever, and believed every word.
"Mr. Ye is obsessed with quality control" never stated what quality he's aiming for
The music had me constantly waiting for it to bust down into pump up the jam.
27:54 As a Touhou fan and plush collector, I could really use a Fumo-bile.
(I'm not sorry for that pun.)
“Her colostomy bag shows that she has tussled with Fu before.”
I’m fucking breathless.
Only once I was 2 thirds through did I realize I had already watched all six parts already.
It took me about six minutes in for me to realize it
I keep forgetting what this channel even is and then clicking it in my recommended and I’m like oh yeah, the sunglasses guy I subbed to him
I like how he turns into Bill Burr when voicing Mr. Yei
The part from "hardware store" at the end there was the cherry on top.
Just noticed the Weird Al reference in part 3
Edit: the end of part 5 is also a Weird Al reference
Mr. He and his wife Cristine Winchester... I really enjoy getting to know these people.
"For lazy Americans, its unthinkable" mans out here exposing us 😂😂😂
Whoa... that's enlightening... I always thought that working conditions in China are bad... but this made me have faith again...
I wish i was a school teacher, you're informative docos would save me even saying shit
