Washington Letter on Chinese Labor Shaping World Industry
An economic writer reports in Washington that Chinese workers will become key global labor for European industries. France has imported over 100,000 Chinese to power munitions and farms, paying 20 to 25 cents daily, with contracts ensuring burial rights in China. Japan also uses Chinese labor, placing Chinese workers under Japanese foremen and supervisors while workers perform manual tasks for even lower pay. The writer suggests Chinese labor could reduce European production costs and influence industrial welfare in war’s context.
