From CLB:

20 March 2010: Several hundred workers went on strike at the Canon factory in Zhuhai after management announced a new pay scale, supposedly in line with planned increases in the local minimum wage. Workers said the wage increases would be negated by management plans to scrap the housing accumulation fund, housing allowance, and other benefits. Management was in effect "knocking down the east wall to build up the west wall," they said.
