labor - Hong Kong imports 5,000 textile workers

The Standard reports that Hong Kong has agreed to get 5,000 mainland textile workers, on the condition they will get minimum wages. That does not seem to be a practise in this industry.
It is a bit going against the tide, since manufactering moved north of the border for wage reasons. For a long time, crossing the border was for mainland Chinese harder than jumping over the Berlin Wall. Reversing the economic trend seems a tough thing to do, I feel.
