Editor: The solemn Director: Li Ping Video: 刘勋 Foreigners in China, not only need passport visa formalities complete, and must have the Chinese Labor Department issued employment permit. However, in recent years, with the development of China's economy, the increase of residents ' income, illegal entry of foreigners, illegal residence, illegal employment of the phenomenon also increased.  Not long ago, Zhejiang Police in a surprise inspection operation found such a group of black workers. The foreign worker of the sock factory policeman: what? Where are you from?  Where are you from?  Worker: (INAUDIBLE). July 27, Zhejiang Province, Zhuji for the illegal use of foreign black workers in the case of surprise inspection. The police told us that under the current law, foreign workers working in mainland China must obtain employment permits from the Chinese Ministry of Labor. But recently, Zhuji police found that a number of workers from Vietnam, Myanmar illegal entry, in some local enterprises to play black workers.  Just this afternoon, they received a telegraph that the sock factory might have illegal use of foreign black workers.  Zhejiang Province Zhuji Public Security Bureau Datang police station Shing Shing: Can you understand me?  Worker: (shaking his head).  Shing: Don't understand, you don't understand. Come with me. Okay, go.  Journalist: What's his situation?  Shing: He can not show his identity, can not show his identity card and temporary residence permit, and then can not understand Chinese.  Police found that the socks factory 4 workers can not provide identification, do not understand Chinese, and their language, the presence of people do not understand.  The foreign worker policeman of the sock factory: Can't speak Chinese?  Worker: (Shaking head) Reporter: Do you understand me to speak?  Worker: (Shaking head) Policeman: Come with us, we need to check the status, check the situation, please cooperate.  Because the language impassability, inspectors for a while difficult to determine the origins of several workers, the police then asked the factory director, but the director of the situation of a few migrants are also ignorant.  Sock Factory director Shouguoping Shouguoping: Not me to recruit, they seem to be number 17th that day, they knock on their own, the door opened, they are a gesture to me here to work. Reporter: What gesture?  What's the gesture? Shouguoping: To work, to work.  That means no money, that's all.  Reporter: Have you seen his ID card? Shouguoping: I also did not, I did not look, I am also very busy, the director told reporters, the factory makes socks basically by hand, this year business is very good, is not enough hands. 10 days ago, the four people came to the door to find work, despite the language, but the production line is short of manpower, agreed to leave them down.  According to the boss, the sock factory does not have a fixed salary, labor remuneration in accordance with the calculation, the four people have just come to less than one months, has not settled wages.  Sock Factory director Shouguoping Reporter: Then how do you communicate with him? Shouguoping: No, I don't talk to them, that's the gesture., look at their kind, that's all.  Do as they do. Police told us that the inspection by the Zhuji government-led, public security, labor and other related departments specifically launched, has been two months to the third large-scale inspection. In previous inspections, 32 foreign workers had been found, mostly from Vietnam.  In order to find out the identity of these people, the police invited a few local factory owners have to set up factories in Vietnam to help communicate, but several bosses can not understand the language of these four people.  Zhejiang Province Zhuji Public Security Bureau Datang police station assistant director Huang Xijun Reporter: What to do next?  Huang Xijun: Next we need to check his identity, the main identity, to find out how he is a situation. Four Chinese words will not be a foreigner, suddenly find their own door, to the socks factory to work, this thing sounds quite strange. What's even more strange is that they don't have any identification, and in the eyes of the police, they appear to be like aliens. So, what nationality are these four foreigners?  How did they enter the factory in Zhuji? What is the status of a few migrant workers, the reporter contacted a Beijing Burmese translation.  Try to communicate in Burmese.  English translation: (translation with four people) Reporter: You ask the exact where? After a translator and four exchanges, we were told that the four people were from Burma. The largest 45-Year-old, the youngest 15-Year-old.  Two months ago, a Zhejiang businessman took them from Burma to Zhejiang factory to work, because there is no entry procedures, four people are smuggled through a port, but specifically the port they do not know.  He said that one months to give them 1500 dollars, let them come over here to work, as a result they came, has not paid him, they want to change another factory, and then because they only two people have Burma's identity card.  Reporter: The address of the first factory?  He said he could not remember the turn. The name of that factory know, he said because not Chinese characters he can not understand, do not know, I said let him take you to that factory, he said he could not find, he did not even know the factory name, the boss surname what he did not know. Several workers say there are many people in Burma who are willing to work in China. Before they came, hundreds of people had come to work.  This time, they smuggled in from Burma with dozens of people, with their entry from the same port, there are more than 20, heard are to work in Zhejiang, but after the entry of the lost contact.  He said that they come to work, one months to 1500, one months to 1500 for the Burmese people is already astronomical, already very high, because Myanmar itself make little money, one months may earn, five U.S. dollars 10 dollars around this way. Since the beginning of the year, Zhejiang police on the employment of foreign workers, a number of net-type screening, at present, there have been 32 foreign black workers repatriated. Just before we got to Zhuji.Zhuji police found 28 foreign black workers from Vietnam in another factory.  The 28 were recruited by a local business owner named Yang Tie to their factory.  Zhejiang Zhuji Public Security Bureau Datang Town Police station deputy director Cai Tiano Cai Tiano: He may mistakenly thought to come here, can run the relevant formalities, so is the first may recruit come over, find over, also not only recruit, came over, came to find this group of people may not be able to use. He is Yang Tie, three months ago, when he went to Vietnam to talk business, hired 28 Vietnamese, and brought back to Zhejiang to work.  Yang Tie revealed that he did not know that the use of foreign illegal workers, at that time in Vietnam, there are intermediary companies to introduce Vietnamese workers pay relatively low, their own factories are also understaffed, this only moved heart. Zhuji Co., Ltd. General manager Yang Tie Yang Tie: There are some intermediary companies, some of them have the initiative of some communication also have. Then I met a surname Yuan, called Miss Shunying.  At that time she said already a lot of people, I said no, you first few people, I first try. Fearing the legality of the work of the Burmese workers at home, Yang Tie eventually picked only 28 people from the hundreds of applicants.  Zhuji Datang Police Station investigation found that the 28 Vietnamese when they enter the country for one months of tourist visas, in the name of tourism from friendship close to entry, then was Yang Tie to Zhejiang Enterprises to work. Zhuji Co., Ltd. General manager Yang Tie Yang Tie: Before we went out to work, then we feel that our Chinese conditions are good, economic prosperity, can also be, foreigners help us to work. At that time felt that this thing is quite happy, the foreigner all helps us to work. And this pride, and this. Don't know this thing. The immigration administration is here.  When I heard that there were so many people here, they were shocked, he said you were wrong, I said there are so many people, I want to use, they said absolutely not.  As a result of the illegal use of foreign black workers, Yang Tie was fined by the Public security Department.  Reporter: How much is the penalty? Yang Tie: It's like more than 20,000, from the introduction of Yang Tie, we learned that after the financial crisis, Zhuji County's generation of processing production began to busy again, but General workers recruitment has been very difficult, many enterprises encountered a shortage of labor, from the second half of last year, there are many Vietnamese, Myanmar workers smuggling immigrants. But how many people enter Zhejiang, the local Labor Department said, the black workers are secretly used, the overall data is difficult to statistics.  In order to understand the situation, we contacted the Yang Tie in Vietnam to introduce workers to the Labor intermediary responsible for Lan Xiuying. Ranchu, director of Vietnam Labor Service intermediary Company: I'm from Vietnam. There are a lot of us here, there should be a lot of workers, we are very low. Our workers in Vietnam are low in wages, about 60 dollars a month. The workers are underpaid.  Because your side also (lack of work) well, and our workers here also very want to make money. Lan Xiuying toldWe, in Vietnam, introduce workers to China to work in a number of labor agencies. There are some illegal immigrants, each of whom charges about $100-500. Some travel visas through the way of entry, through this way, each introduced a successful person, intermediary charge 300-800 yuan for the introduction fee. From the second half of last year to now, the company has exported more than 400 workers to China.  And their company is a small labor agency in Vietnam. Ranchu, director of Vietnam Labor Service agency: very cheap, really.  Because I think a way to them, because for China, the salary is lower than other countries, so we charge very low, Reporter: How many companies with you in contact, and these companies where it is?  Lan Xiuying: (INAUDIBLE) There are many factories in Nanning province, there are many workers in Zhuhai. According to the provisions of the Ministry of Public Security, all foreigners who are illegal immigrants or illegally residing in Hong Kong, whether or not registered with the United Nations refugee agency, are required to "find one, investigate one, and send one". (a) The direct repatriation of identity documents, the absence of identity documents, the removal of nationality and the issuance of documents after negotiation with the relevant embassies, and the inability to determine the status of nationality, and the detention review in accordance with article 27th of the Law on the Administration of aliens ' entry and exit, until the nationality is determined to From these detailed regulations, it is not difficult to find that every one of the foreign black workers, our country needs to pay a very small cost.  However, why are there so many foreign black workers into the country? The relatively tight domestic labor market and relatively high wage income have pushed more and more black workers to come to China to earn money. However, after the illegal immigration of these migrant workers, a undocumented, no language, strangers, how do they find a job in China?  Our correspondent decided to explore the Dongxing of Guangxi, an important source of the influx of foreign black workers. This is the Guangxi Dongxing Port, located in the border between China and Vietnam. The river, called Beilun Estuary, is about 10 meters wide, and the Beilun bridge across the river connects China's Guangxi Dongxing with Vietnam's Quang Ninh Móng Cái City. Reporters are everywhere in the river, Vietnamese border sell their wares. But the reporter noted that the border station empty.  In order to further ascertain the situation, the reporter came to the port next to the Vietnamese street, according to the insider, here many bosses are businessmen from Vietnam, many of the Vietnamese migrant workers are here in Zhejiang and other jobs.  Dongxing Vietnamese Street shop boss boss: Vietnamese come over some, Guangdong there are a lot of Vietnam past, the Vietnamese are more law-abiding, more law-abiding obedience ah.  The boss is a local, the reporter said to hire, he told us some Vietnamese translation agencies in the recruitment of foreign workers, can go there to see. Dong Xing Vietnamese street Boss: Teaching Vietnamese will have a way, the key is the price, can talk about. Find the words definitely repatriation, but you have to pay attention to a little, simple linguistics, go outside don't too publicity ah. General situationAll right, according to the clues provided by Dragon Boss, we found the Vietnamese language training institution located on the side of Xinhua bookstore. Dongxing Vietnamese language training institutions responsible person: Recruit 10 Several people no problem, the key step by step the staff revealed to us, recruit a few Vietnamese wage earners are not difficult, they can go to Vietnam stall point for recruitment.  But according to the rules, before recruiting, we have to enroll in his here to learn Vietnamese, tuition fees 300 yuan. Motorcycle driver told reporters that Dongxing has recently repatriated several batches of Vietnamese workers, the wind is tight. According to him, he has friends dedicated to helping domestic employers to recruit jobs in Vietnam.  If we want to recruit workers, it can help me recruit some. The driver of the Dongxing motorcycle driver: Many are to Guangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, more than this. They are usually smuggled in. Go to those factories to work, you can not do the card, after the card, the card to spend money ah, spend money, you can do only three months, such, you will do. Vietnamese 1000 can. 1000 can do it.  That is true. Although our investigation in the Dongxing is only a few days, but through these interviews we found that now the organization of foreign migrant workers smuggling, illegal work, has formed a complete chain, not only professional intermediary responsible for recruiting outside the border, transit, there are people specializing in contact with domestic enterprises.  What kind of interests are hidden behind such an underground industrial chain? Zhuji Datang town is known as "international Socks", the town large and small enterprises add up more than 10,000, most of the socks industry. Reporter learned that these years Datang's socks factory mainly to do foreign orders, belong to the typical export-oriented economy. With the advent of the financial crisis, Datang socks industry has also suffered a brutal blow, some enterprises closed down, workers forced to go home.  Since the spring of this year, as the external environment has warmed up, orders have increased abruptly higher than before the pre-crisis level.  Enterprise Director Wei Weishing Wei Weishing: Now one months 8 million, so far has been close to 40 million of the order next. Wei Weishing, Zhejiang European Socks Co., Ltd. in Datang Town, a medium-sized enterprises, according to him that the current order volume is still increasing.  And the increase in orders to rely on the whole plant 200来 people production, is 24 hours of continuous work can not finish the increase in order volume. Enterprise Director Wei Weishing Wei Weishing: Then we try to list to the outside platoon well, with the help of peripheral forces.  Datang market is also very large, including stereotypes of the packaging that a lot of each year. The reporter noted that Wei Weishing said the private enterprise is like Shou director of such a family workshop-style factory.  As large enterprises to their own unfinished orders subcontract to these family enterprises, it caused the proliferation of such enterprises, the demand for employment also with vigorous. Sock Factory director Shouguoping Shouguoping: You look at me, myself, I am the boss, do you see me like the Boss?  What do you do every day? And in the whole business chain of the lowest end, Shou director of their meager profits. According to him, his husband and wife had a good time in the factoryEarning one months and 8000 dollars, while the bad month is only about 3000.  Reporter in Datang town, the largest socks market learned that a pair of ordinary socks can only sell a few cents to a five range, and the cost of production of a pair of socks 4 to 5 cents, accounted for more than half of the output value.  Zhuji Shuang Jin Jin Textile company worker journalist: Do you earn much?  Worker: Not much.  Reporter: It means to run the volume, that is, the greater the amount of money to earn more.  Worker: That's. If you want to run, you have to increase the number of people, in order to expand the profit margin will have to depress the wages of workers.  According to the reporter in Zhejiang Province human Resources and Social Security Department to understand the information, Zhejiang Province in order to alleviate the difficulty of recruitment of the minimum wage standards have been raised to 1100 yuan/month. Reporter: Zhang Hao, boy name, picnics 57, performance pay 503, perfect attendance award, overtime, high temperature subsidy, you also have high temperature subsidy ah.  880 is equivalent to a basic salary, right.  Worker: A total of more than 2000.  Zhuji Shuang Jin Jin Textile Co., Ltd. workers: in the Datang side of the Socks factory, 2000 have.  Journalist: How much are you one months?  Worker: I have more than 3,000 dollars this month. Yang Tie admits that the reason why he is preparing to hire 28 Vietnamese is to pay the difference between China and Vietnam. In Vietnam, the average labor force pays only 400 yuan a month, while Yang Tie pay them close to 1500.  And recruit a domestic skilled workers to more than 2000 yuan. Zhuji Yang Tie Yang Tie, general manager of Shuang Jin Textile Co., Ltd. There are two differences between Chinese and foreigners, the first one. Because after all, his home near, may occasionally busy season of season he will go back, then he went back to your factory must even have some influence, then Vietnamese workers relative to him a little better, He's not going back in a year. Businesses use foreign workers for a variety of reasons, and the government authorities are diametrically opposed. Reporters from the Zhuji Public Security Bureau to understand, Zhuji has launched three times for foreigners in the illegal employment of special rectification. A total of 36 such aliens are currently found.  Zhao, who is in charge of the work, told reporters that the number of such personnel in the Zhuji, they are very difficult to investigate, but from the recent inspection, the employment of black workers have an expanding trend. Zhejiang Province Human Resources and Social Security Department Inspector Wang Guoyi Wang Guoyi: Economic interests Drive, for example, I run a business, I have a small workshop, such a, your production may be about 100,000, I am hundreds of thousands of, then I recruit that salary is too high, my profit is less, I recruit if it is to 1400,  Now as long as 700 I saved 800, this 800 is all profit AH. Domestic labor shortages and rising labour costs have directly led some companies to hire illegal foreign workers at the risk of fines. In particular, for those small profit-making enterprises, a low labor cost, which means the rise in profits. The new phenomenon in the aftermath of the international financial crisis, though nowis a symptom, but to the relevant management has put forward a difficult problem to face. Wang Dawei Wang Dawei, professor of Chinese People's Public Security University: At this stage it is not a trend, it is only a symptom or a certain spot to detect, this is a status quo, but the status quo has aroused our full attention.  Not that he was formed after he entered the country illegally. Explanation: According to the data, the number of Vietnamese illegally crossing the border to Guangxi in 1998-2001 years is estimated at around 60,000 people. In 2007, Zhuhai Police investigated 7 cases of illegal employment of 113 Vietnamese people; Since 2008, the immigration administrations of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan and Yunfu in Guangdong Province have continuously seized the illegal immigrant and illegal employment of Vietnamese. February 28, 2008, Guangxi Jingxi investigated 8 Vietnamese illegal immigrants and illegal employment. In the first quarter of 2010, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau recently released data show that only this year, Guangdong province, the illegal employment of foreigners up to 154 people. In the past two years, there have been illegal employment of foreigners in Hainan, Fujian and Zhejiang. Professor Wang Dawei that, due to the concealment of the black workers, in fact, the number of illegal workers to work in China is far more than official statistics.  Because workers from Vietnam and Burma are less demanding, there is a good chance that there will be a trend in many places where labor shortages are occurring.  Wang Dawei Wang Dawei, professor of Chinese People's Public Security University: one is to challenge the law of China's entry and exit administration, the second is to challenge our tax policy, the third challenge our talent's qualification policy, the last one challenges our public security management. In Zhejiang Province, the Office of Human Resources and Social Security Inspector Wang Guoyi, at this stage, China's labor and employment situation is not optimistic, the end of 2009, the country has registered 9.21 million unemployed people, urban registration unemployment rate of 4.3%, has reached the highest level since 1998.  In this case, a large influx of black workers into China is a big test for China's low-end labor market.  Zhejiang Province Human Resources and Social Security Department Inspector Wang Guoyi Wang Guoyi: I feel that we can not open up, we are not in China, this can not let go, open is two kinds of people can open up, a high-end talent, the second highly skilled talent, these two can let go, others cannot let go.  Wang Guoyi told reporters that although many countries in the world for foreigners to enter the work is more lenient, but in fact, the world does not have a country to open up the low end of the labor market. Chinese people's Public Security University professor Wang Dawei Wang Dawei: My personal inclination or should be strict.  This is the history of Dayu water plugging and sparse to combine, then we look at the world for migrant workers and illegal immigrants, human smuggling is a severe attack attitude, so you see the surrounding countries and the whole world about this migrant workers policy is very strict. Half an hour observation although experts suggested that the crackdown on foreign black workers should be strict, but in addition to the Public Security Department surprise inspection, I am afraid that the more effective way to curb the spread of the phenomenon of foreign workers, or how to curb domestic enterprises to the demand for foreign black workers. When the international financial crisis arrives, the first shock is the small and medium-sized processing enterprises with no brand, no technology and no channel. Their previously low-cost, Low-wage, Low-margin profit models have been unsustainable in the post-crisis economic environment. As a result, some enterprises have turned their eyes to the outside, hoping to bring the low-cost labor abroad into the country, and continue to maintain the way of making money in the past. It is these enterprises that create a deformed labor market, they are the root cause of the spread of foreign black workers.
