But in Ethiopia, Huajian workers told The Associated Press they work without safety equipment for pay so low they can barely make ends meet. Huajian workers told the AP they made 960 Birr ($35) to 1,700 Birr ($62) a month. Wei Tie, the director of “Amazing China,” said he wasn’t aware of the controversy surrounding Huajian until the AP informed him. “Amazing China” smashed box-office records for documentary films, raking in 456 million yuan ($72 million) in its first five weeks, according to ticketing website Maoyan.com. On IMDb.com, a subsidiary of Amazon, “Amazing China” earned only one star.
