China's Ministry of Labor and Social Security has announced that the country will continue to impose stringent penalties on activities which deliberately delay or reduce migrant workers' wages.
The Ministry wants to put a stop to these payment problems, which are most common for workers who have come from rural areas to find a job in China's big cities.
In recent years, China has seen a surge in lawsuits from these workers, who seek normal payment conditions.
