At present, we practice the "survival wage theory" practiced by western countries at the end of1the end of the 8th century1the beginning of the 9th century, and the wages we give ordinary civil servants, workers and migrant workers are only enough for them to survive. Through such a policy, the country can get the benefit that by reducing wages, it can complete the initial initial initial capital accumulation more quickly. In the face of national interests, it will be inevitable to sacrifice people's interests in the short term. As a scholar pointed out, in the early stage of industrialization, wages can only be maintained at a level that allows workers to survive and maintain their livelihood, so as to successfully complete the original accumulation of capital and maintain this slightly cruel "competitive advantage."
Another important evidence that western countries practice "wage sharing theory" and China practice "survival wage theory" is that wages in the United States have always accounted for about 50% of the national GDP, while wages in China accounted for 1.980, 1.990 and 1.6% of GDP respectively in 2000. In the past 20 years, China has used cheap labor to beat its competitors at low prices in labor-intensive industries and occupied the world market. Nowadays, "Made in China" is spread all over the world, thanks to the "survival wage theory".
