There was a program on BBC2 recently [2] of a business owner with textile factories in both China & the UK. One of the illustrations they made was an increase in pay in China (something like 3-fold in recent years IIRC). The employees over there were getting quite vocal, they'd go to the office and demand a 50% increase or walk away. There were also markets were employers would advertise their business, job seekers compared pay and extras. One of the things that stood out most were the worker's clothes & haircut: colorful, modern, trendy.
