There's always a slave somewhere to exploit. If not in China, then India or Vietnam.

Chinese capitalists are concerned about external shocks to their economy.

Any internal shocks, such as workers (aka slaves) asking for higher wages or benefits, are not so much a concern due to the local governments within China needing to keep their local labor markets "competitive".

Competition is fostered by downright corruption in the form of bribery or workers understand that to ask for higher wages or benefits puts their job at risk of flight because if a worker in town X demands higher wages, the job moves down the road to town Y where the peasants there can be exploited.

1. Until the workers of the world unite against the power elite.
Why do you think the power elite promotes nationalism so vigorously?

We can't even get the workers of the US to unite. The sheeple are so mind controlled against collectivization (OOOH, that's COMMUNISM!!) that we have lost our labor movement here, effectively.
