9 Ways To Compete With Chinese Workers

Is your wallet a bit empty? Afraid of losing your job to someone in China, India, or Eastern Europe?

Trying to figure out how to really compete with workers from these countries? Remember, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. What follows are nine tips on how to directly compete with Chinese workers:

How To Directly Compete With Chinese Workers

1. Work 70+ Hour Weeks, With At Most One Day Off Per Week - While this is not uncommon in the West, it isn’t the standard like it is in China. If you already work 70+ hour weeks, add several dozen more.
2. Live In Tiny Spaces - If you don’t have a college education, plan on quite a few people to one room (8-20). If you have a college education, plan on rooming with 3-6 others or:
3. Live With Your Parents For 10+ Years - Job not paying much money and parents live in a city? If you’re a guy or an unmarried girl, just room with them for 10+ years after entering the working world. If you’re a woman, try your best to get married to someone rich 10 years older than you.
4. Eat Very Little Meat - And little else besides rice, noodles, and cheap vegetables.
5. Don’t Buy Anything Except Food, Some Clothes, and a Cell Phone
6. Don’t Go To The Doctor Unless You Are Extremely Ill - Pray that you don’t get sick.
7. Send Your Family To Live As Farmers In The Countryside - It’s the only way the little bit of money you send them will allow them to survive.
8. Endure Extremely Hazardous Working Conditions - And don’t expect any real amount of money if you get hurt, sick, or die.
9. Accept a 75-95% Reduction in Pay - By following steps 2-7 above, your tiny sliver of your former income might just allow you to survive. Then again, even all of these changes might not be enough to compensate for your reduction in pay or serious illness or injury.

Sounds like a tough life, doesn’t it? Leave your thoughts below.

(Note: This post is both painful truth as a description of the living conditions of most Chinese workers and satire in the sense of showing how good most people in developed countries still have it.)
