It's only little pay compared to what you make here. In my country for example, with $20 a day you are well off. Also here people don't save. They use their credit cards for the latest version of an iPhone and have nothing to fall back on when they lose their job.

China is in a transition period, and they are doing it slowly (the way its supposed to be done)... They are suppressing their currency like a beach-ball pushed inside the water, when you let go it will explode up.

Plus people here have been spoon fed allot for a long time now. When my country or any other country asks to open the doors for free trade, be prepared for its consequences.
