Does everyone have to pay social security?

No, the state doesn't require everyone to pay social security, but they can't enjoy the relevant policies provided by social security. But it is mandatory for enterprises to pay social security to full-time employees. Interns or part-time employees are not full-time employees and do not need to pay.
