    I was joking lol, sorry.

    A centralized union controlled by the government is not what I think most people would consider a “union”

    They do not have the legal right to strike. http://www.bhrdw.gov.cn/Content-1771.html

    I don’t understand how a union can advocate for its workers without that.

    I have not read through your sources yet but thanks for including them, will go through them. Rising wages is more than I can say for the West, but I’d be careful to equate that with labor rights.

      Workers in the PRC absolutely have the right to strike, there are hundreds of cases a year.
