Equal Wages (l'égalité des salaires)
China has imitated the Japanese shinkansen train.
China is going to apply for a patent with their version of the shinkansen to patent office of various countries, including the U.S. However, the contract between Japan and China restricts such an action. Japan has helped China build their own version of super-express trains. But now some Japanese concerned think that China is betraying Japan.
However, it is unthinkable that Japanese businesses sever their connections with China. China has still cheap labor force, wider market, some natural resources, and a various convenience. Yet, most of the Japanese want the Chinese people to observe rules, respect peace and harmony, mind their manners, and get humble.
Indeed, there are some Japanese that predict even a future military confrontation between China and the U.S. It would be a big episode in history, though it cannot be a main event that would change the course of history.
Anyway, it is nice to travel by train from Shanghai to Beijing taking just four hours. It would be better to travel by the shinkansen train from Washington DC to New York taking just one hour or by the Japanese linear motor train taking half an hour.
SECTION I: Wage Comparison
SECTION II: Wage Comparison based on PPP
In the overall manufacturing sector, wages in America are not necessarily high.
SECTION III: Equal Wages
It is well known that Christ Jesus told that equal wages should be paid to all the workers, including those who came to a workplace very late.
So, if equal wages are paid to all the workers on the earth, including German workers, American workers, Japanese workers, Indian workers, and Chinese workers, the world will be blessed by the God.
But, why have wages in each country come to differ from one another? Mostly it is because of disparity in living costs which is ascribed to long history of domestic and international development of economy. As it is bad history full of competition, exploitation, and armed occupation, its result is so bad.
From the beginning, Christ Jesus did not tell that people should work for wages to buy bread, though He did not say not to work to earn wages. What He said is first ask for the Kingdom of God, then we would be given what is needed for life, including probably wages and bread.
We may work for wages, but at lease we do not live for wages.
