【英音模仿秀】中国劳动力市场转型

模仿文本：Young people in China today who've often benefited from a good education don't want a low-wage job that doesn't use their skills. Is the rising Chinese wage bill likely to dull the country's competitive edge? I spoke¹ to George Magnus, senior independent adviser² to the Swiss bank UBS. And first, Dr Qian Liu, deputy director of the China Forecasting Service in the Economist³ Intelligence Unit.
