Objective system is needed to calculate minimum wage

THE 19TH NATIONAL CONGRESS OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA stressed the importance of improving people's livelihoods and increasing people's sense of gain. Beijing News comments:

Local authorities have repeatedly increased their minimum wage standards over the past few years, a praiseworthy practice to protect the basic rights of workers.

But raising the minimum wage should not be regarded as a reward bestowed on people by the government. Raising the minimum wage is a conventional practice carried out by many national governments in light of the practical situation in their countries and economic laws.
