Smart. China is a huge market.

Yep. You think this is the end of the story or a middle chapter?

Opening a new plant? Is it meant to serve the Chinese market?

Congrats? Says a lot about you that you would gloat about something like this which hurts American workers. Maybe you need to take a break off of here for a while.

Hmmm plant in China
China puts foot in NK arse
NK 'crisis' dies down, Sounds like a helluva a deal.

I think the Ford Focus is incredibly popular in China and this is a very case specific move. Not great but I'd chalk this up as fake news for sure.

Do you realize how stupid this makes you look?

Good. China can probably make them cheaper anyway.

My guess is this also has something to do with the reintroduction of the ranger to us market. They are going to be building those at the Michigan plant, so my guess is many or most of the us focus workers will switch to that

You (and maybe your source the NYT, not clicking your link) purposely left out the fact that they are also opening a new $1B plant in Kentucky.
So not exactly fake news but definitely manipulated, skewed news. Pick the bad parts, focus on those, ignore the good news.
Par for the course.

Better article from a foreign newspaper (BBC)
Maybe not ideal, but not as bad as the headlines would have you believe?

The carmaker said the decision would not lead to layoffs in the US.

Currently, Ford makes its Focus cars in Michigan, Germany and in China.

The move to China will not affect employment levels in Hermosillo, which produces other models, said spokeswoman Kelli Felker. It also does not affect the plans for the additional investment in Michigan, she said. The Michigan plant currently producing the Focus will switch to making trucks in 2018, with the same number of hourly workers, the firm said. Ford also said it would invest $900m to retool an SUV plant in Kentucky.

Can we ship the illegals to China now?

Bad news - It's opening one in China.
Damn you're fricking stupid. They aren't shipping all of those motherfrickers back to the US for sale, and they are expanding their Asian marketshare, which is good for Ford, good for the U.S. economy and good for U.S. workers.

Melt, bitch

I'm not ready the NYT, but my suspicion is that the article insinuates that Ford is building in China instead of Mexico, and fails to mention that the purpose of the plant is to access the Chinese market; whereas the Mexico plant was meant for the US market.
