The Chinese government has launched a wages overhaul to ensure that millions of migrant workers from the rural regions get properly paid before they return home for a major traditional Chinese holiday.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has sent working teams to provinces including Zhejiang in eastern China and Hubei in central China. They will inspect employers' salary payments to migrant workers as well as local governments' related supervisory work.
The ministry urges local authorities to take effective measures to ensure migrant workers get paid in full before the Spring Festival, which falls on Jan. 31.
Violations by employers such as wage deductions and delays are an old problem in China that has pressed the government to conduct such a yearly overhaul in recent years to protect migrant workers' rights.
China's largest cell phone manufacturer, Hua-wei, is releasing a phone that can be thought of as the in-flight refueling system of the mobile world: it can be used to recharge other phones.
The Ascend Mate 2 has a 6.1-inch screen, making it more than twice as big as an iPhone 5. It's almost the size of a tablet, giving rise to the half-joking term "phablet." It's the successor to a phone of the same size launched last year.
The first Ascend Mate was not sold in the U.S., but the Mate 2 will reach U.S. shores. That was according to Hua-wei CEO Richard Yu who made the comment at a press conference in Las Vegas ahead of the opening of the International Consumer Electronics Show.
The huge size of the Ascend Mate provides space for a large battery, with roughly three times the amount of energy stored in an iPhone battery.
Hua-wei claims it will last for 3 and half days of "normal" usage, or half that for heavy usage. Through a USB port, this battery can be used to charge smaller phones.
Hua-wei Technologies Limited was the third-largest cell-phone manufacturer in the world in the third quarter of last year.
