"It’s getting difficult competing with lower-cost factories in like Southeast Asia," Wong said, referring to countries like Vietnam. "This is a big pressure on all the factories in Shanghai ... they're going to have to automate."

And so Wong is on a mission to automate his own factory. He sees it as his only choice for survival.

Surrounded by more than a dozen screens with bar graphs and flow charts detailing the productivity of each assembly line on his factory floor, Wong sits in his office in Shanghai explaining that he's already cut his workforce in half.
That is interesting, but it's also apparently a new phenomenon that I imagine may or may not have even applied to your company before it got shitcanned. I certainly imagine it didn't apply throughout your business' history, making this probably a pointless and manipulative ploy.
