and that the investigation targeted its suppliers, not Fuyao.

And what about the allegations about the workers?

Did they find evidence of people working illegally?

According to the Fuyao spokeswoman, the company has since beefed up the vetting process for new hires among its suppliers.

Ultimately, the federal investigation came to a standstill.

Meanwhile, Vitro continued to lose out to Fuyao.

It seemed to Vitro that no matter what it did at its Crestline factory — lay off workers, lower prices, invest in new equipment — the Chinese company kept eating into its sales.

The situation grew so dire that Vitro considered closing the auto glass plant.

Eventually, Vitro decided to make its case to Congress.

That's after the break.

Last month, Trump spoke at an event in Detroit.

He made it clear he welcomes foreign businesses opening up shop in the U.S.

The idea is that these foreign companies could add jobs back into stagnant local economies.

From Fuyao's view, that is what they're doing.

The company says its Ohio plant employs more than 3,000 workers, most of them from the area.

But Vitro says Fuyao's presence in the region has undercut Vitro's ability to keep stable union jobs.

In addition to the allegations that Fuyao employs undocumented workers, there are also concerns about Beijing subsidizing Fuyao's operations to give them the upper hand in pricing.

The Fuyao spokeswoman said that the company's success is due to its product quality and reliability.

And at least one local leader is dismissive of Vitro's complaints.

The head of the Dayton area Chamber of Commerce said Vitro may just be, quote, peeved that they're losing market share and maybe they're grasping at straws.
