BEIJING: A new tax on foreign workers in China mandating they pay Chinese social security contributions is fair and in line with global norms, state media said on Monday, brushing off concerns in the business community it will raise their costs.

 

Citing an unidentified official at the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, Xinhua news agency said the provisional rules on these payments which had already gone into effect would not be too onerous.

At least the PRC gov shows they are not bowing down to foreigners to attract them over.

 

Back here, we should also have a similiar tax on foreigners.

Our infrastructures in terms of physical and social to defence are all built using taxpayers money, surly these people who came and work here to reap the benefits to bring back home should be made to contribute for their stay here. If SG is that good, these FTrash would have came over no matter what taxes are implemented and not here to plunder and go back to enjoy the spoils.
