Is it legal for social security to raise wages?

Legal analysis: it is legal for social security to raise wages. First, it is legal as long as it is not lower than the local minimum wage. Second, the payment of social security is adjusted every year, which has nothing to do with whether wages rise or not. If the payment base and employees' wages are lower than 60% of the average social wage, they need to pay according to 60%, not according to wages. Therefore, it is possible that wages will not rise and social security contributions will increase, which is in line with state regulations.
