On July 29th, a worker at the Jiangmen Municipal Service Center held a sign in protest. The sign read, “Four months of unpaid wages, no more delays.” This kind of protest due to wage arrears in government positions has become quite common.
Currently, China’s economy continues to decline without showing any improvement, and local governments are increasingly struggling financially. Recently, many mainland civil servants have complained on social media that their salaries will be significantly reduced, with some facing nearly a 30% cut. This news has sparked a lot of discussion, and the topic of “the iron rice bowl is no longer secure” is trending online.
