The New York Times failed to tell the truth about Fuyao, but what I am surprised about is that Chinese domestic media also followed suit, glass tycoon Cao Dewang wrote in an exclusive story to the Global Times published on Tuesday.

The New York Times interviewed some former employees from Fuyao, but about 30 percent to 40 percent of the interview content is untruthful, noted Cao.

Cao is the founder and chairman of leading Chinese glass manufacturer Fuyao Glass Industry Group, which has a manufacturing plant in Ohio in the US. The US plant started operations in October 2016, has a total investment of $600 million and is reportedly the world's largest auto glass manufacturing plant.

Domestic media have sparked a discussion after the New York Times reported on June 10 that "Fuyao faces an acrimonious union campaign by the United Automobile Workers" and a lawsuit by a former manager who says he was "let go" partly because he is not Chinese.

Then, some Chinese media also published reports headlined as, for example, "Employees from Fuyao US plant go to street demonstrations."

"I'm so surprised that Chinese media used fake headlines to lure readers," said Cao, adding that he hopes to see serious reports and analysis in the media rather than exaggerated and fabricated words.

Cao said he has no objections with the presence of the US union, which in part reflects the local culture. He said that he has 20-year experience investing in the US and that his company has good relations with the union.

He also said his company has talked with the local officials in Ohio and that the state government supports Cao in letting people know the truth.

Cao even questioned the New York Times' purpose of publishing the story on June 10, just days before an investment summit in the US.

Does the New York Times want to cause trouble for the Trump administration or to 'remind' Chinese investors of being cautious of making investments in the US? Cao noted.
