“American Factory” won an Academy Award for best documentary feature this year for its look at a Chinese-owned factory in Ohio. The Chinese billionaire entrepreneur who is a key figure in the film – Cho Tak Wong, chairman of Fuyao Glass Industry – will explain the impact of COVID-19 at the facility as part of a U.S.-China Business Forum this week organized by Forbes China.
Also from the world of film, IMAX Chairman Rich Gelford will discuss the opening in China this month of the blockbuster “The Eight Hundred,” the first Asia commercial movie shot entirely on IMAX cameras. The war epic has earned $116 million to date.
