Abstract:Japan, South Korea and Singapore are three major countries importing China’s labors. They all share two common characteristics and distinctive features as well in the system of importing Chinese workers. The former is demonstrated by the low-skilled or non-skilled work engaged in by Chinese workers and law protection across the three countries, whereas the latter is of the characteristics of importing workers with its temporary nature, quota control, high attachment, and "quality" control, etc. Their difference is seen from two aspects: identifications of the Chinese workers' identities and ways of importing workers. In Japan, they are defined as skilled trainees, while in South Korea and Singapore they are labeled as workers, whilst the ways of importing workers are respectively mixed driven, namely government-led and market-driven. Thus, an important reference for China's foreign labors cooperation and labor rights protection can be used by making a comparative study on the system of importing Chinese workers in the three countries.
