"The $1.50-to-$1.95-per-hour labor cost in the Chinese auto industry is not arrived at by any 'natural' operations of a free market," Ron Gettelfinger, the union president, said in a statement, "but through artificial repression of wages by a brutal regime which outlaws independent trade unions and jails more labor activists than any country in the world."

That's a very good wage in China I would think.... Especially if prices are really 1/4 of those in the US and China even at adjusted prices is only at 1/6 or less of US income per capita.
