Impressions of Detroit
Detroit is an important port city located in the northeastern United States, north of Windsor, Canada, along the Detroit River. It is the world's traditional automotive center and music capital. Affected by economic decline, Detroit is slowly deteriorating, and public safety in many areas is concerning. As an alternative, Detroit is now developing the gaming industry.
Detroit is situated in the central position of the Great Lakes industrial region. The automotive manufacturing industry is the core sector of the city's industry. Steel, instrumentation, plastics, glass, tires, engines, and other component production related to automotive manufacturing are highly developed, with a high degree of specialization and intensive operations. Annual automobile production accounts for about one-quarter of the city's total; the workforce numbers nearly 200,000, accounting for over 40% of the city's total employees.
Living Tips for Detroit:
- As the headquarters of America's Big Three automakers — General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford — the 2008 financial crisis dealt a heavy blow to the "Motor City" of Detroit. Many locals lost their jobs, could not pay their mortgages, and tens of thousands of homes were repossessed and auctioned by banks
- On the morning of December 3, 2013 (early morning of December 4 Beijing time), this once glamorous Motor City officially declared bankruptcy, becoming the largest city bankruptcy in US history.
- About 16 months after the "Motor City" of Detroit filed for bankruptcy, a US federal judge finally approved its bankruptcy exit plan on November 7, 2014
- In the US, be mindful of the Western custom of ladies first
- Americans are relatively averse to being asked about privacy issues, especially the age of working-class people or women
- US customs inspections are very strict; when shipping to Detroit by sea, be sure to ensure there are no prohibited items
