I think Chinese people often discuss the low labor costs and high service quality domestically with a sense of pride. But in reality, this is a form of systemic and situational exploitation. Indeed, labor is extremely expensive and hard to come by abroad, which leads to high costs for dining out. This is also extra money spent by capitalists. If you can afford to eat out, then you should tip more. However, this also means that workers abroad, such as waiters, delivery drivers, and plumbers, are all earning at least decent wages. I believe that in the AI era, these people are the hardest to replace. In another 20 years in China, with an aging population and a significant decrease in young people, we will also face similarly high-priced services. I can already sense that all the hidden debts will be repaid by this generation when they grow old. All gifts come with a price tag.
