labor - Shortages spread to Guangxi

The news is not shocking but telling. CRS Asia noted in a Chinese paper that the ongoing shortage of migrant workers in Guangdong and Fujian provinces over the past two years, that was also noted in Harbin, has now expanded to southern Guangxi, especially the 1.8 million people counting Heng county.
Also here, the rising farmers' income was noted as a reason.
