You are right.

As a Chinese man working here in States, I may know a little more on this=
 minimum wage problem.
=20
Actually, since many years ago, there have been minimum wage standards in=
 many provinces in China. Even more, this standard is updated almost ever=
y year.However, the problem is, it is never strictly followed by many com=
panies. They used to bypass those standards by multiple ways, and since t=
here are always unemployed people in the country which as 1.3 population,=
 they don't really care about firing anyone who complain about their wage=
s. Feeling sorry to say, it is never easy for normal person to make a law=
suit in China about money issue. And even foreign companies will soon lea=
rn those tricks too.

=20
I don't think it is the time to increase the minimum wage a lot, there ar=
e just too many mouths waiting to be fed. For those who complain China a =
lot, please imagine 5 times more traffic on the road and thank God that h=
e made you born in States.
