[Original article in Chinese. Title translation, and following summary of the article's key points, provided by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.] 12 companies in Shenzhen have been investigated and found to be paying workers salaries below minimum wage.

One is Jianhua Watch which paid workers 600RMB, significantly below the legal 810 minimum. The other companies 'black-listed' include: Shenzhen Meichuang Machine Equipment, Shenzhen Feijian Technology, [Longhua] Yixin Gifts, Bao-an Xin-an Anle Lexin Electronics, Hongyan Electric, Shenzhen Dandisi Furniture, Jinyin Printing (Shenzhen), Kano (Shenzhen), Shenzhen Longgang Pingshan Shunji Metal Products and Damin Home Decor Products.
