Low-cost Chinese labor may take jobs away from American workers, but the American economy as a whole would spiral into the abyss without its relationship with China. This program ventures inside the complex web of U.S.-China trade and reveals its impact on consumers, workers, and management on both sides of the North Pacific. Ted Koppel interviews Mexican migrant laborers in North Carolina, teenage workers on an electronics assembly line in Chongqing, quality control inspectors at Ethan Allen, Chinese homemakers shopping for furniture at Wal-Mart, laid-off employees of Briggs & Stratton in Rolla, Missouri, and the American manager of the Briggs & Stratton plant in Chongqing.
