SK Hynix Workers Got $220K Bonuses — Chinese Companies Give Nothing | Digging into China

While China celebrates the rise of giants like BYD and Huawei, ordinary Chinese workers are being left behind. In this eye-opening analysis, we contrast BYD’s explosive profits — which skyrocketed over 5x in one year — with its frontline employees receiving a mere 0.8% wage increase.

Meanwhile, South Korea’s SK Hynix handed assembly-line workers bonuses worth up to $220,000 thanks to the AI boom.

This isn’t just one company’s story. China’s corporate model prioritizes endless expansion and price wars over worker pay, fueling a vicious deflationary spiral. Products made by underpaid labor end up sold to wealthier foreign consumers.
The uncomfortable truth: China’s companies can rise, but its people keep falling — trapped in a system that fears giving workers real bargaining power.
