Extract

In a market economy, wages are determined by supply and demand. However, in China the government has a set of guidelines that explicitly determines the wages of workers in industry and the public sector. Although these guidelines are known to researchers on the Chinese economy, whether the actual wages truly reflect the guidelines has not been studied extensively.
