A Chinese factory employee set fire to a textile plant in China’s southwestern Sichuan province in his frustration over unpaid wages of just 800 yuan (or US$111), according to videos posted on social media and eyewitness accounts shared with Radio Free Asia.
Most payments in China are monthy, not weekly/bi-weekly as with in the west.
You’d be mad too if you find out you’re not gonna be paid for work done for the past month*.
Edit: *Or if its only partial payment
With west you mean usa? Most of Europe gets paid on a monthly basis.
Where in “the west” do you live? My paychecks (Switzerland) are definitely monthly.
I only ever heard of North Americans getting paid weekly/bi-weekly as standard.
A bunch of Europeans in this comment section forgetting there are more “western” countries than just western Europe and the USA/north America.
Fortnightly is the most common in Australia, with some people paid monthly also (depends on the company).
And thankful for this. Monthly sounds terrible
Notice how I specifically talked about places I heard of, never claimed I knew of every country. And I don’t really care one way or another myself tbh, I guess monthly mostly serves to reduce paperwork. More frequent sounds like it might better as the employee.

That’d be 26 hours at average factory wage, according to this site. I don’t think that it’s likely more than a week, if that.
