To them it is all about: "we make machine, you buy major quantity maybe, shut face and shoehorn fit into North America". Eventually I yell enough that I get some things done the right way.
How can you claim to own the factory, but then claim your employees won't do what they're told to do? Then fire them and hire someone else who will do it. No, rather I think it's something *your* CEO or VP or whomever doesn't actually want to do. So stop trying to foist your management's incompetence off on the "dumb asians"'. I know you weren't trying to look racist; I understand the difficulties you're encountering having done business with such people before. But you make them do it, or you get someone else to do it.
