According to the “Workers’ Daily” report:
On November 15th, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued the “Notice on Adjusting the Minimum Wage Standards of the Autonomous Region,” which will take effect from December 1st. The monthly minimum wages for first, second, and third-tier areas in the region will be increased from 1980 yuan, 1910 yuan, and 1850 yuan to 2270 yuan, 2200 yuan, and 2140 yuan respectively, an increase of 290 yuan for each compared to before the adjustment; the non-full-time hourly minimum wage standard has increased by 1.6 yuan compared to before.
As of now, more than ten provinces including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Hunan have successively raised their minimum wage standards this year. Most provinces have increased their monthly minimum wages by about 200 yuan, with the highest increase reaching 290 yuan; a few provinces have increased by about 100 yuan. From the level after the adjustment, more than twenty provinces nationwide have their first-tier minimum wages exceeding 2000 yuan.
Nazi scholars claim: Raising the minimum wage will play a driving role, bringing comprehensive effects to improve people’s livelihoods, benefiting workers, and also helping to promote consumption.
They also promote the Nazi government’s legitimate labor security system, “People are the primary factor in enterprise development, and enterprises must strictly implement relevant regulations. If workers find their wages are below the local minimum wage standard, they can report and complain to the labor security department.”
The article from “Workers’ Daily” is merely a glossing over, with the obvious intention of covering up class struggle and the current poor economic situation under Nazi rule.
First, the minimum wage standard set by Nazi China is a law and policy that benefits the bourgeoisie. Because this minimum wage is much lower than the wage needed for workers to maintain basic living, in current production and life, no one really establishes labor relations according to it; during workers’ rights protection, the “labor security” departments often only require employers to pay wages or compensation (if any) based on this minimum standard.
The minimum wage amount is already very low, and the Nazi’s increase in this minimum wage cannot make up for the losses workers suffer in absolute poverty and economic crises, almost unable to keep pace with the annual inflation rate. Moreover, the efficiency of Nazi’s labor security departments has been declining year by year. In southeastern coastal cities, Nazi labor inspection departments could still dispatch personnel on-site to demand wages in 2023, and cases would be heard within three months after workers submitted arbitration materials. By 2024, many labor inspection teams’ staffing had been abolished, and the time for workers to apply for arbitration was extended to six months, with longer delays if necessary. The prolonged arbitration process emboldens the bourgeoisie and worsens the oppressed situation of the working class.
At this time, the “Workers’ Daily” article’s purpose is nothing more than to suggest that the current social system and economic environment are still good because wages have been increased on paper. Look, wages are being raised, right? Nazi China promotes national socialism, just like how Nazi Germany added only two insignificant days to statutory holidays after 2025, packaging its regime as a supra-class harmony of labor and capital, or as protecting workers’ interests. This kind of deception is used to mislead some people. It obscures the link between economic poverty and political reaction, thus rallying support for Nazi reactionary rule.
