Chinese salaries closing in on Portuguese

Chinese industry workers are almost making as much money as those in “financially-weaker eurozone countries”, such as Greece and Portugal. The difference is about 25%. This is because salaries in many EU countries have stagnated or dropped while in China they have trebled between 2005 and 2016, surpassing nations such as Brazil and Mexico. The news is based on data compiled by the Euromonitor International group and cited by the Financial Times.
