Why is the minimum wage in Australia 20 times that in China?

Australia's per capita purchasing power is weaker than that of the United States, but its per capita GDP is higher than that of the United States, which fully illustrates a problem: the gap between the rich and the poor in Australia is smaller than that in the United States. Although they are all capitalism, American capitalism is more tolerant of the rich because of its low taxes. Capitalism in Australia cares more for the bottom people, and government relief alone can make many unemployed people live well. In other words, the Australian government has raised the income tax of many upper-middle-income people to support the bottom people, and naturally the lowest income representing the income of the bottom people is higher than that of the United States. The United States has never lacked the lowest-level labor force, and people who have sneaked in from the third world have made outstanding contributions to its bottom-level services. Such a high minimum wage in Australia is a poison to Australia's manufacturing economy. When I came to Australia in 2004, there were four major automobile factories in Australia. Toyota Horton Ford and Mitsubishi. 10 years have passed. The four major car factories closed down and moved. They all moved to China and Indonesia, where productivity was low. Such a high minimum wage is a disaster for the domestic manufacturing industry. All the small workshops are tired of paying employees and unable to upgrade their technical equipment. It's not good for young people in our country, because the boss is afraid to recruit people, so it's difficult for inexperienced people to find jobs. The restrictive factors of Australia's national competitiveness. The reason for this strange phenomenon is democratic politics. In order to come to power, political parties always promise to raise the minimum wage, and it will be increased in proportion every year. No matter what happens in the future, let's go on stage first this year. A large number of people at the bottom of society, especially those with the minimum wage, will vote for this party. Because the price is almost 2-3 times more expensive than Japan, the house price is about 4-5 times more expensive than Japan (only compared with the big city Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka). America doesn't know, but it's about three times more expensive than Canada. But it's definitely not 20 times more expensive than China, ORZ. In fact, when I returned to China, I still felt that things in Beijing were very expensive, and the salary was high for several reasons: it was difficult to recruit people, and many Australians muddled along. If you can eat for three days, you will never get to the fourth day. Trade unions are very strong, especially nurses' unions and teachers' unions. They negotiated with employers' representatives through various strikes and demonstrations. If it is high, it will not go down, and it will have to grow at a fixed rate every year.
