Rising wages -- together with currency fluctuations and high fuel costs -- are eating away the once-formidable\flee the Pearl River Delta. Much has been written about the more than doubling of wages atthe Shenzhen factory of Foxconn, the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer,which produces Apple iPhones and iPads and employs 920,000 people in China alone. \can talk about a world pre-and post-Foxconn,\the world's biggest sourcing company and a supplier of Wal-Mart. \as that.\
Foxconn's wage increases are only the most dramatic. Our analysis suggests that, sinceFebruary, minimum wages have climbed more than 20 percent in 20 Chinese regions andup to 30percent in some, including Sichuan. At a Guangdong Province factory supplyingHonda, wages have risen an astonishing 47 percent. All this is bad news for companiesoperating in the world's manufacturing hub, and chief executives should assume thatdouble-digit annual rises -- if not on the scale witnessed this year -- are here to stay. Looked at another way, however, wage inflation provides companies with a once-in-a-
generation opportunity to rethink radically the way they approach global production -- andthey should do so sooner rather than later.
Why the urgency? After all, wage hikes in China are nothing new. Since 1990, they haverisen by an average of 13 percent a year in U.S. dollar terms and 19 percent annually in thepast five years.
There are two big reasons and the situation is different now. The first has to do withproductivity. Over the past 20 years, productivity increases have broadly matched wageincrease,negating their impact. The pay rises came from a very low base, so while averagewages grew 19 percent a year from 2005 to 2010, this amounted to only ~260 a month peremployee, a sum that could be offset by more efficient production or switching to cheapersources zf parts and materials.
If labor costs continue, however, to increase at 19 percent a year for another fiveyears,monthly wages would grew ~623 per month, according to BCG estimates. Such anincrease would ripple through the economy in the form of higher prices for components,business services, cargo-handling and office staff.
The second reason relates to societal change. Until now, it has been easy to lure a seeminglyunlimited number of young, low-wage workers to the richer coastal regions and house themcheaply in dormitories until they saved enough to return home to their families in theinterior provinces. In the future, though, young workers will be harder to recruit. This ispartly because there will be few-er of them: Largely because of the country's one-childpolicy, the number of Chinese aged 15 to 29 will start declining in 2011. Moreover, withliving standards rising across China, fewer of today's rural youth will want to go to coastalregions to toil for 60 hours a week on an assembly line and live in a cramped dormitory. So what can CEOs do in this fast-changing environment? An instinctive reaction is tosearch for cheaper labor elsewhere. But this is short-sighted and would provide -- at best --a short-term fix. Another option is to stay in China and try to squeeze out greaterproductivity gains.
According to paragraph 1 and 2, we can summarize that( ).
A: China will always boast a very impressive price advantage around the globeB: Foxconn's rising wage is just a one-sided case

A: China's one-child policy
B: the fact that fewer rural youth want to go to coastal citiesC: surging living standards
