And what cities and provinces do have one, it’s way lower than anything in the west. Your own article confirms this, although I’d like a more reliable source than “china-payroll”. and worker’s unions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_relations_in_China). The All-China Federation of Trade Unions is the largest union in the world.
