Exactly. Currently, in Chinese domestic companies, severe labor violations have become standard practice—wages are frequently delayed or left unpaid, and illegal overtime is rampant, with labor laws completely ignored.
In contrast, foreign enterprises were once a rare refuge of good working conditions, strictly complying with labor regulations and ensuring wages were paid reliably. However, facing political coercion, regulatory overreach, and growing instability driven by the Chinese government, foreign companies are accelerating their exit from China.
As a result, Chinese workers are losing their few remaining opportunities for decent employment.
The ultimate responsibility lies with the government itself, which has created an environment that actively drives away stable jobs.
Despite this, some radical nationalists celebrate these departures, claiming that the exit of foreign capital is a victory for domestic industry.
In reality, for the everyday workers stripped of safe working environments and fair compensation, this is no victory at all—it is a tragic defeat engineered by their own government's policies.
