GM keeps plants running in China by asking workers to live in factory, sleep on floors

DETROIT – As the biggest city in China goes on lockdown, General Motors is taking extreme measures to keep new car production going, including asking workers to sleep on factory floors.

Leaders in Shanghai, China's financial epicenter that's located on the southeastern coast, started a two-stage lockdown Monday to try to control a massive COVID-19 outbreak.

That lockdown is forcing automakers and suppliers to scramble and make tough decisions.

China has a "zero-COVID" strategy that relies on mass testing, contact tracing and other policies to control the spread of the virus. It also demands that companies use strict measures to keep factories going – or else shut down. The latter would produce production disruptions and delayed shipments at a time when consumer demand for new cars is strong. Last year, GM delivered 2.9 million vehicles in China.

So many companies want to move their production to China.

2. The barbwire fences and armed guards ringing factories in China are to keep workers out,

not to keep them inside, according to "moderate Republican" Mitt Romney.
