The current 12th Five-Year Plan calls for annual wage increases to average at least 13.4%; this year, wages are rising at an average rate of 18%, which will squeeze out industries characterized by obsolescence or overcapacity. Moreover, the government’s anti-corruption campaign is targeting some of the most powerful industry groups, such as the petroleum faction, thereby weakening their resistance to reform.
实施将是一场长期斗争，会遇到一些激烈抵制，但关键改革已经上路。当前的十二五规划要求工资增长平均至少为13.4%；今年，工资增长平均率为18%，这将挤压过时和产能过剩的行业。此外，政府的反腐运动将目标定向一些权力最大的工业集团，比如石化行业，从而削弱了对改革的抵制。
